Debugger Display Setting

hucklim — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 12:38:24 GMT

Hello all,

I was searching for a way to turn on the symbol hint during debugging. I read from a debugger manual that one

can switch on the symbol hint from the debugger's display setting (edit>preference>debugger...). But my preferences

does not provide the option for the debugger. I am using Codewarrior IDE v5.9.0 build 5294. Is the missing debugger option

to be expected from this version that I am using?

Thanks in advance.

Yours

Huck

Hello TICS Fiona,

thanks for your reply. The CodeWarrior version that I am using is:

CodeWarrior Development Studio for the S12(X) Version 5.1, build 10221.

I am attaching the Installed Plugins.TXT file so that you can get the information of all the Plugins I am using.

what kind of "symbol hint" do you need during debug? can you please upload a screenshot of it? I need to check if CW for HCS12 v5.1 have this feature.

does your CW5.1 never have "symbol hint"? or it ever does ,but doesn't have now?

Hello Jennie,

I installed my codewarrior version 2 weeks ago, I do not know if there is ever ‚symbol hint‘ in this version of my codewarrior. I read from debugger user manual that by placing the cursor over a variable, the value of

the variable should appear. The manual also indicated that one can turn on the ‘symbol hint’ through the ‘Display setting’. However, I could not find the display setting on my codewarrior.

Yours sincerely,

Huck

Hello Jennie,

I have found out how to use the ‚Symbol Hint‘ in my debugger. I first need to highlight the parameter and then the value of the parameter does appear. Previously I forgot to highlight the parameter. I just float my

Cursor over the parameter and expected to see the value of the parameter, which is not how it works.

Thanks for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Huck
