Debugger function that hangs uVision

right over the entry window there is some VERY INTERESTING information

Erik

Erik,
Thanks for your response. I don't see what you're talking about. (It's probably there, staring me in the face!!) I have clicked on just about everything that I can possibly click on. However, I did just discover that if I put in an invalid number in the entry box, it causes a syntax error in the debug function and breaks the "infinite" loop. Still, uVision should offer a more clear way to exit a condition like this, and yes, with more experience, I shouldn't write debug code that leads to an infinite loop!!

This issue will be corrected in the next MDK version. By entering <ESC> in the getint/getdbl() dialog, you will get out of the while(1) loop thus avoiding looping forever...

I don't see what you're talking about
click on 'reply' (same result as "start a thread" and look up

also, the preview should have told you that your post was unreadable.

"It's probably there, staring me in the face!!"

It certainly is - look at this picture: www.danlhenry.com/.../keil_code.png

Thanks for the note on message formatting, and glad to see that this will be addressed in the next MDK release...
