data tooltips do not work in omp parallel for

[Wolfgang]

Hello NI,

it seems that data tooltips do not work, i.e., do not show any value within a parallized for loop, see below:

If the mouse is, e.g., in line 240, the value of index or spectrum_data_points is shown, if the mouse is in line 232 instead, no value shows. The same is true for x_data (line 235 versus line 241...)

Maybe I should add that the breakpoint was set after the loop in line 264.

When hovering over an expression in debug mode, CVI asks the debugger to evaluate the expression. In this case, the debugger is unable to evaluate "x_data" in its scope on line 235. However, the evaluation works if you are suspended inside the for loop.

This is not a new behavior (not introduced in CVI 2019). I suspect it's not straightforward to fix, but we can file a bug report and give it a try if it bothers you.

Hi catalincocis,

thanks for the quick reply!

- I dit not say that this behaviour is new to CVI 2019

- I could understand that evaluating arrays is complicated in parallized sections, but it also does not work for simple variables as spectrum_data_points in line 232.

- yes, it bothers me because sometimes the workaround to find the variable outside the loop may require jumping to a code section far apart, so an attempt to improve on this is welcome

Hi catalincocis,

I am wondering if you filed a bug report - if so, what is the bug ID?

Thanks,

Wolfgang
