Please take note of the following problem in using the High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4.00.00, an integrated development environment:
  • On saving and restoring symbols entered in the C Watch window

  2. Description
    Consider that a session is saved*1 with symbols being entered in the C Watch window. When this session is opened or refreshed*2, the correct symbol name may not be displayed.

    This problem occurs if symbol names are entered in any of the following ways:
    • An element of an array is specified using square brackets ([ ]).
         Example: a[0]
    • A member of a structure or union is specified using a period (.).
         Example: str.a
    • The destination of a pointer is pointed to using a right arrow (->).
         Example: pstr->a
    • A pointer specifier (& or *) is used.
         Example: &a or *a

    For the above examples, the symbol names are all represented by "a".

    NOTES:
    *1. Session can be saved by either of the following operations:
    (1)Opening the File menu and then selecting the Save Session command.
    (2)Selecting the Session ... has been modified - do you want to save it?
    dialog box, which appears by performing any of the following operations, and then clicking Yes:

    (b) Closing a workspace.
    (c) Terminating an application program.
    *2. Session can be refreshed by opening the File menu and then select the Refresh Session command.
