No need. I did get the same result as you with the code you provided. You are using "b" as a variable and it seems to be (pun intended) confusing the format specifier software. Try with a variable name that is not one of the format specifiers and you will see it works. Is this considered a BUG or a Feature? |

I don't have a Visual Studio (C/C++) installation handy ATM, so I can not check if the same problem occurs there. When I get to one I will check, and if this is specific for Atmel Studio then I will consider it an Atmel Studio bug or deficiency and report it in the tracker.
OT: On the fun side - I got tired of the spell checker marking "Atmel" so I decided to add it to the dictionary. On my way there I observed that the FF spell checker suggest changing "Atmel" to "Oatmeal".  |

 My doctor has recommended that for breakfast every day, with a sprinkle of ground flax seed. Oatmeal of course, not Atmel.  |

Can't figure out how to add the format specifier to the name. I click, I right-click and command-click. All over the %^^&%(&* Locals window (including the variable name). I can edit value but nowhere to add the specifier.
Enlightenment is desired.
Ugggh, OK, I can add a watch, with the variable name and format specifier. Ugly but works.

| Use the watch window and enter the variable you want to watch, a comma, and the format specifier. The locals window is handled automatically by the debugger and cannot be changed as far as I know. |

Yes - that is what I said initially. It works in the watch window. Not in the locals window, the content of which is auto-generated and not possible to edit in detail by the user.
Ugly? Not IMO. For quick debugging I can rely on e.g. the Locals window, but for any prolonged debugging work I like to set up my own watch's so that I have and see exactly what I need.
Please note that you can add a watch quickly by right-clicking the variable name anywhere in the editor and select "Add watch".
(What really sucks is that you can not re-order what you have in a watch window. That's Microsoft...). |

Thank you.
Is there an external tracking number for that? |

No, but I can carve out the internal one if someone wants it. I've commented that it may be wise to give a hint in this thread with the resolution, but this at best a "should" (not all devs have the balls to talk to you freaks )
EDIT: If you want to make a bug in the external system, then to that by all means, and just PM me with the link and I'll link it up with our internal one |

I would, but I am not sure what specific bugs you covered in your internal report. Can you PM me with that.

I'll take the error report off my to-do list then? |

| Yes Johan, I am following up on that now. I will post the trace numbers as soon as I finish. |

As a matter of sane user interface, I would like to suggest that a click (right click or command click) in the heading of the value column produce a contextual menu that applies to the whole column. But, a click in any individual value produce a menu that includes a value change and format selection for that particular value.

| Johan, have you tried using h instead of x to specify hexadecimal? |

No, because looking at Microsofts documentation that does not make sense. There it says that 'h' is a
Quote:
long or short prefix for: d, i, u, o, x, X

Yes, but, then there is this:

It seems to be left up to who writes the visualizer. |

Here's an excerpt from the "official" Atmel help available on the help menu. Look it up in the help to get the nice formatting

I gave it a quick try in AS6 and this is what I get on a UC3 simulator project:
Code:
int main(void)
{
volatile int a=0;
volatile unsigned char b=0;
while(1)
{
a++;
b++;
}
}
Here's my watch view:
Code:
a 3 int{registers}@R08
a,x 0x00000003 int{registers}@R08
b 2 unsigned char@0x3ffb ([R13]+3)
b,x 0x02 unsigned char@0x3ffb ([R13]+3)
b,b 2 unsigned long
b,b1 0b00000010 unsigned char@0x3ffb ([R13]+3)
a,b 2 unsigned long
a,b1 0b00000011 int{registers}@R08
a,o 000000000003 int{registers}@R08
So the modifiers seem to work with the exception of "comma b", where I had to force a size (b1) to get it to work. Will check why now...
