Problem loading local variables debug info from DWARF-3

Vasili,

I assume you are using the GNU compiler packaged with CCS for compiling your project.

Most likely there is a bug in CCS that is causing the error. Would you be able to send us your project so we can reproduce the error and investigate it further? You could either attach it here as a zip file or if you prefer send it to me via private conversation.

Hi Aarti,

No, we are using GCC 4.8.1.
Unfortunately, GCC supplied with CCS is extreamly old and doesn't support C++11 which we need.
However, as DWARF is a well defined standard, isn't CSS supposed to support the standard and not just certain version of compiler?

I'll send you an ELF file shortly.

Best,
Vasili

My apologies. Maybe not extremely old (2012q4). For some reason I thought it was from 2009...

Still, its support for C++11 is somehow problematic...

I'm having a difficulty sending you a private message. I think it requires you to accept me as "a friend" on this forum.

I accepted the friend request and send you a private message which you can reply to.

Thank you for sending the ELF file offline. With the file I was able to recreate the error when viewing local variables in the expressions view with CCS 5.4. However, the error seems to be fixed in an internal build of CCS 5.5 that I tested. The final release of CCS 5.5 should be in a couple of weeks, so pelase give that version a try when it is released and let us know if you continue to have problems.

That's great. We'll hope CCS release happens soon.
Thank you very much!

Hi,

I'm now using CCS5.5 and there still seems to be some problem with watching the local variables, for example, the image below shows how a wrong info is shown.

It should be mentioned that the program was compiled without optimizations and the actual variable in memory did contain other values. I think the addresses for all the members are not supposed to be same.

Looking forward for your assistance.

Best,
Vasili

Thank you!
