expanding a structure in debugger with pointer

[kamputty]

Hi all,

PIC32 AI compiler

Given the following code snipped, I want to "see" the complete structure the pointer is pointing too, not just the memory location in the debugger.

Code: Select all

struct myStruct
{
    int x;
    int y;
};

struct myStruct struct1;
struct myStruct *pStruct1;

int main(void)
{
    struct1.x = 1;
    struct1.y = 2;
    pStruct1 = &struct1;   // <---- how do I see this pointer expanded to the structure?

    while (1)
    {
    }

    return 0;
}

In the debugger, I see the following under the "expressions" windows (sorry could not insert image)

struct1 --> can expand into complete structure
pStruct1 --> 0xa0 00 02 00 (address only)
pStruct1->x shows the value of x

What I need is to expand the "pStruct1" pointer to show all the values in the struct...

did you try something like &pStruct1 ?

Hi,

for me *pStruct1 works under Necto Studio 2.5.0
