Precautions

Please take note of the following problem in using simulator debuggers, emulator debuggers, and emulator debuggers dedicated to compact emulators for Mitsubishi's microcomputers.
  • On using the C watch window


  1. Versions Concerned

    For the 7700xx series MCUs: All the versions of PD77SIM
    For the 740 family MCUs: All the versions of PD38SIM

    1.2 Emulator Debuggers
    For the M32R family MCUs: All the versions of PD32000
    : All the versions of PD32R
    For the M16C/80 series MCUs: All the versions of PD308
    For the M16C/60, 20 series MCUs: All the versions of PD30
    For the 7900 series MCUs: All the versions of PD79

    1.3 Emulator Debuggers Dedicated to Compact Emulators
    For the M30800T-CPE emulator: All the versions of PD308M
    For the M30620T-CPE emulator: All the versions of PD30M


  2. Description
    When variables are entered in the C watch window, debuggers may be terminated forcibly.

    2.1 Conditions
    This problem occurs if the following three conditions are satisfied:
    (1) Local variables or file local variables are entered in the C watch window.
    (2) The types of the variables in (1) are cast to the data type defined by a typedef statement at entry.
    (3) The variables in (1) cannot be referenced in the current scope.


  3. Workaround
    Don't enter local and file local variables in the C watch window if you have cast their types to another data type defined by a typedef statement.

    If this problem arises whenever the C watch window is opened, delete the file that contains watch points. This file can be searched for as follows:
    Filename: That of the absolute module file plus extension "cwp"
    Directory: Any of the following three directories:
    * The directory in which the absolute module file is saved
    * Windows directory
    * The directory specified using the Customize dialog box opened by the "Environment" -> "Customize" command


  4. Schedule of Fixing the Problem
    We plan to fix this problem in our next release.
