Using Symbols

Using Symbols gives examples and hints for using symbols when debugging an application.

• Symbol names must be used as displayed in the Symbols Window. Drag and drop a symbol from the Symbols Window into the Command Window to get the fully qualified symbol name.
• Symbols can be defined at runtime with the commandDefine:

  Define char|int|float|long|double SymbolName
  

  Symbol names
  • Must begin with: ['A'-'Z'], ['a'-'z'], '_', or '?'.
  • Can contain: ['A'-'Z'], ['a'-'z'], ['0'-'9'], '_', or '?'.
• When a path contains spaces, then the symbol name must be enclosed in quotes ("). In addition, use a double backslash (\\) to escape the backslash (\) (rules for C string literals apply). Example:

  LOAD "C:\\path with blanks\\filename.hex"
  

• Insert a space between the ternary operator ("?:") and a symbol that begins with a question mark ("?")
  For example: R5 = R6 ? ?SYMBOL : R7.
