CCS v5.2 string truncation

peter lagergren

I have a TI Demo app that uses a string defined as "abcdefg@yyzxnet.com".

When this string is used by a routine that accesses it by using a pointer, the string seen by the routine is truncated to 12 characters. When I look at the memory location for the string, it is all there.

Anybody have any idea why this would happen?

Further to this post, here is the instruction:

sendSMTPCommand(smtpSocket, (char *)smtp_mail_from, from, buf);

Turns out the char * smtp_mail_from is referenced as a 12 character array. That character pointer never gets reset to the length of the string that is handed to "from" which is of the form "abcdef@yyzxnet.com" It is cut off at "abcdef@yyzxn"

Further to this - the truncation is an artifact of the debugger. The routine is actually passing the correct data. Bit of an irritation.
