I am using version 5.05 of the C166 compiler and am seeing a strange problem displaying 8 bit variables in the Watch window. Rather than the value I expect, I see only the lower nibble with the upper nibble stuck at 0 (0x45 displays as 0x05). I can see that the processor has the correct value because it is correctly shown in the Register window. This is a local function variable that has been optimized to be placed in a register rather than the stack. Anybody else have this problem and know of a solution? Thanks, Barry
Dear Mr. Keil, I was using simulator under V5.00 and also ULINK. I have to mention, that I used "OCDS driver for XC16x" instead of "ULINK driver for XC16x". But since, this was the first and only case, that ULINK crashed I was not sure, whether this was my mistake. ( Since Barry mentioned the wrong display in the watch window, I remember that I had the same in simulator too. ) This was a trial project to interfacing a dot matrix to a starterkit for support purposes and therefore I did not take extremly care of this. With kindly regards Stefan
