SymbolsWindow_Mym80_03.png

This window displays all symbols with a static location, that is, C/C++ functions, assembler labels, and variables with static storage duration, including symbols from the runtime library.

You can drag the contents of cells in the Symbol, Location, and Full Name columns and drop in some other windows in the IDE.

Requirements

Can be used with all C-SPY debugger drivers and debug probes.

Toolbar

The toolbar contains:

<filter by name>

Type the first characters of the symbol names that you want to find, and press Enter. All symbols (of the types you have selected on the context menu) whose name starts with these characters will be displayed. If you have chosen not to display some types of symbols, the window will list how many of those that were found but are not displayed.

Use the drop-down list to use old search strings. The search box has a history depth of eight search entries.

Clear

Cancels the effects of the search filter and restores all symbols in the window.

Full name

Module

Type

The symbol type, whether it is a function, label, or variable.

Click the column headers to sort the list by symbol name, location, full name, module, or type.
