Debugger: is it possible to change the value or a variable?
PostPosted: Wed Jul 03, 2019 7:53 am     Reply with quote
I've worked with debuggers that allow me to alter the value of a variable while the program is paused. My search through the help file didn't seem to indicate this was possible.

Is there a way to alter a variable inside the debugger? I am running without any type of console, and would like to be able to alter a variable during debugging to run different test functions without having to alter code and rebuild each time.

Thanks!

What IDE are you using?
With MPLAB IDE is pretty easy.

Open a Watch Window add the variable, run the code, halt the code, edit the variable and run again.

Alas, we use CCS C Compiler's IDE. Thanks. It is good to know there is an option out there if we are ever able to switch.
