Set individual file into debug mode to set breakpoints CCS5

David Sabol

Hi,

I haev a project in CCS 5.3. I need to be able to set break points and step through the code. This appears to be woring fine if the entire project is in Debug mode. However, in practice I cannot build the entire project and download it in Debug mode because of space / real time issues. What we did when we used CCS 3.3 was set the project to Release, but then set the individual file we needed to step thruogh to have no optimization and turn on full symbolic debug.

When I do this with CCS5 though, it will not allow me to place breakpoints in places that it did when I was building in Debug. It moves the breakpoint to the beginning of the function. When I run the code it seems to hit the breakpoint, but only allows me the option of "Step Into", which does not appear to do anything.

Currently I have the Debugging model set to Full symbolic debug (--symdebug:dwarf, -g) and Optimization to Off. Are these the correct settings to use? What else do I need to change?

Thanks,

David

What you are doing sounds about right. Your file specific options with debug enabled should override the project level options for that particular file. I tried this out in my 5.4 install and it worked fine.

Could you send me a small test case? It can be as simple as two source files with one of them with file specific options. Something that I can run on a simulator.

Thanks

HI,

Thanks for your quick response. I sent a friend request so I can privately send you files. I am not sure I understand all of what you need. Do you only need any project files, or just two example source files?

Thanks,

David

David,

I set my account settings so that you can send me a private message without first having to send a friend request. Simply start a private conversation with me. If you are not sure how to do this, see the last FAQ in the forum readme:

Thanks

Hi,

I looked in the FAQ, but on your profile I do not see the "Start conversation" link

That's odd. My settings have not changed.

I sent you a friend request. Guess we will have to do that step first

This issue was taken off-line. For those interested: The test case provided did not show any issues in my environment and now it appears that the issue no longer occurs with David (the file specific options are working as expected). This issue is closed (for now)
