Examine memory widow anomaly

[Zorroslade]

Not sure if this is the place to report an anomaly/bug.

We are using CodeBlocks 10.05 (from May) on Debian and wx2.8.10 (32 bit).

In the memory window while debugging, a "Ta" (without quotes) shows up. It only shows up for static variables. If the static variable is greater than 8 bytes, it shows up every 8th byte. This artifact is prolly from gdb for static memory and not handled correctly. I did not find any info on the web about it.

Enable the debugger's debug log ( Settings -> Compiler & Debugger -> Debugger ) and paste the log in a [ code ] tags.

Here is the dump for the static variable.

Thx.

Hm, seems that the output is different than the expected one.

Can you provide a minimal sample project to reproduce the bug?

[Zorroslade]

Sorry for the delay.

Here is some sample code.

class TestxTest
  {
  public:
    TestxTest() {};
    ~TestxTest() {};

    void fct();
  };

void TestxTest::fct()
  {
  static char var1[200];
  for (int cnt = 0; cnt < 200; cnt++)
    var1[cnt] = cnt;
  }

class TestXTest
  {
  public:
    TestXTest() {};
    ~TestXTest() {};

    void fctText();
  };

void TestXTest::fctText()
  {
  static char var1[200];
  for (int cnt = 0; cnt < 200; cnt++)
    var1[cnt] = cnt;
  }



int main()
  {
  TestxTest xTest;
  TestXTest XTest;

  xTest.fct();

  XTest.fctText();

  cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
  return 0;
  }

It looks like the loop control for displaying static data is one larger than it should be.

Reproduced, thank you

I hope, I will have a patch in the next couple of days...

p.s. here is a patch that tries to fix the problem: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,10908.msg89584.html#msg89584
