Have been using CVI7.0 on win2000 for a month now and I am seeing some
issues with this particular version.
1. Today I saw that a buffer which has '_' in it, doesn't show the '_'
char. In 2nd columns, I see "ds1 3/2,1,....." when it should be
"ds1_3/2,1,...." If I expand that buffer to display the string, it shows
the '_' char.
2. Yesterday, I had a situation where all my variable names just went to
blank. I could look at the values but no names. Structures would show up
->field (without the structure name). Only way to get things working
was reboot the machine.
3. Not related to viewing variables, but it seems NI needs to improve
the CVI7.0 feature where it shows structure elements (for
autocompletion). CVI sometimes
shows in-correct field names. I was in a
function which had the same parameter name as another function and CVI
was showing me the parameters of the strcuture passed to my second func.
Here is an example of what I am talking about:
func1(MyData* pMyStruct, ...)
{
}
func2(MyParams* pMyStruct, ....)
{
inside this function when I type
pMyStruct-> it would show elements of MyData rather than MyParams
}
4. Listing structure elements requires that my program can be compiles.
While editing code, if I add some new elements to structure, this
feature doesn't help at all.
Does any one else seen these issues?
