  • [SOLVED] Correct use of Debug.Evaluate when writing RTOS-aware plug-in

    Hi

    I'm writing an Ozone RTOS plugin for MQX.

    Within Ozone's watch window, I can see the structure containing the data of interset, but I don't seem to be able to correctly read this structure within the *.js file
    As far as I can tell, my approach (attached) mirrors the Debug.evaluate example given in UM08025, but I'm getting 'undefined' when attempting to access any structure member following the successful evaluation check.

    What am I missing?


    Many thanks

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    Such an issue is not known to us.
    Which Ozone version are you using currently? Is it the latest 3.20h?
    If not could you give that a try?

    Best regards,
    Nino

  • Hi Nino

    Release 3.22 does resolve a couple of issues I was seeing, however the cause of this particular issue remains and appears to relate to the casting of the address

    The structure 'kernel_data_struct' has a typedef of KERNEL_DATA_STRUCT_PTR, if I use this i.e.

    var KernelData = Debug.evaluate("*(KERNEL_DATA_STRUCT_PTR)" + 0x60050074c);

    KernelData contains the expected results.

    However, If I use:

    var KernelData = Debug.evaluate("*(struct kernel_data_struct *)" + 0x60050074c);

    i.e. the 'original' data type used in the typedef, attempting to acccess any member data within KernelData results in 'undefined'. So it appears that if there's a typedef for the pointer, you must use that when casting within Debug.evaluate and not the 'original' data type.

    Not sure if this is expected behaviour, but I mention it in case it's helpful.

    Regards

  • Hello David,

    The whole argument is a string. So you need to put the "" around the complete argument.
