CCS: Debugger not displaying a structure layout

Sasha Slijepcevic

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I have added a global variable of a structure type to the Expressions tab, but the only info I see is the address of the variable. The members of the structure are not displayed. For some reason, that variable does not have an entry in the DWARF sections, so I am guessing that's why I can't see the whole structure. Could it be any other problem?

The app is built with GCC for Arm in CCS 8.0.

Hi Sasha,
I can not seem to reproduce this issue. Using gcc 7.2.1, I am able to see the members of the structure. Can you provide a small test case?

Thanks

I'll try to create a project smaller than the one I found the problem, but any project should do as long as you add --coverage options to the compiler and the linker command lines. Then, add __gcov_root to the Expressions tab.

I see it with __gcov_root. I didn't see the issue with the global structure i created however. investigating...
