What do you want to do?

The Statics window is available from the View menu.

StaticsWin_FF94_04.png

This window displays the values of variables with static storage duration that you have selected. Typically, that is variables with file scope but it can also be static variables in functions and classes. Note that volatile declared variables with static storage duration will not be displayed.

Every time execution in C-SPY stops, the values in the Statics window are recalculated. Values that have changed since the last stop are highlighted in red.

Click any column header (except for Value) to sort on that column.

To select variables to monitor:

  1. In the window, right-click and choose Select Statics from the context menu. The window now lists all variables with static storage duration.

  2. Either individually select the variables you want to display, or choose one of the Select commands from the context menu.

  3. When you have made your selections, choose Select Statics from the context menu to toggle back to normal display mode.

Requirements

Can be used with all C-SPY debugger drivers and debug probes.

Display area

This area contains these columns:

Variable

The name of the variable. The base name of the variable is followed by the full name, which includes module, class, or function scope. This column is not editable.

Value

The value of the variable. Values that have changed are highlighted in red.

Dragging text or a variable from another window and dropping it on the Value column will assign a new value to the variable in that row.

This column is editable.

Location

The location in memory where this variable is stored.

Type

The data type of the variable.

Module

The module of the variable. A tooltip shows the complete path to the module.

Image

The name of the debug image in which the variable is defined. A tooltip shows the complete path to the image.

Context menu

This context menu is available:

StaticsWinPopUp_FF94_03.png

These commands are available:

Default Format, Binary Format, Octal Format, Decimal Format, Hexadecimal Format, Char Format

Changes the display format of expressions. The display format setting affects different types of expressions in different ways. Your selection of display format is saved between debug sessions. These commands are available if a selected line in the window contains a variable.

The display format setting affects different types of expressions in these ways:

Variables

The display setting affects only the selected variable, not other variables.

Array elements

The display setting affects the complete array, that is, the same display format is used for each array element.

Structure fields

All elements with the same definition—the same field name and C declaration type—are affected by the display setting.

Show As

Displays a submenu that provides commands for changing the default type interpretation of variables. The commands on this submenu are mainly useful for assembler variables—data at assembler labels—because these are, by default, displayed as integers. For more information, see Viewing assembler variables.

Save to File

Saves the content of the Statics window to a log file.

Right Align 'Value' Column

Toggles the left–right alignment of the Value column.

Options

Opens the IDE Options dialog box on the Debugger category. See Debugger options for more information.

Allow Volatiles

Toggles the display of volatile variables in the window. When displayed, volatile variables can be recognized by the text in the Type column being in bold and italic.

Toggle Selection View

Toggling this command to its selected setting adds a selection box for every displayed variable, that can be used for hiding variables that you are not interested in. By default all variables are selected. The ones you deselect will be hidden when you choose this command again to toggle the command to its deselected setting.

Select All

Selects all variables.

Select None

Deselects all variables.

Select All in module

Selects all variables in the selected module.

Select None in module

Deselects all variables in the selected module.
