In debug mode when I place mouse over a memory reference like LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL it displays the value in decimal.
Anyone know how to change the radix to hex for mouse over events. All my other memory windows display hex

Further to this, variables seem to be displayed in decimal and octal, OCTAL! What are we, programming an IBM 370?

Hands up all those who've used octal in the last 20 years :)

I'm guessing the answer will be the same, this is an Eclipse issue eh? Not Code Red's fault.

You must have changed something... Mine are all in Hex. To change
Window, Preferences
C/C++, Debug
and change the defaults.

Everything is set to Hexadecimal, I never changed it since installing. :confused:

Where are you seeing them displayed in Octal? Snapshot?

When I mouse over a variable.

\372 is in '' and therefore the depiction of the ASCII character for 252, so I guess the "problem" is that the default is to show decimal then ASCII and if the char is not printable that's what you get.

But HEX doesn't get a look in despite the settings.

Isn't that exactly the same question as BetoGreen asked to start with, to which CodeRedSupport answered that you cannot change it?

Yes it's almost the same thing, but mousing over a construct like LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL only shows the decimal, not the ASCII/octal.

Presumably because it is not 'char' type?

I reckon so.

Given the nature of embedded programming it would be nice to always show HEX as well as any other appropriate format. Overall Eclipse does a pretty good job though, way better that IDEs/editors I've used in the past.
