Got a Reference String which is New’ed and Disposed of within the same procedure, but have noticed the debugger shows it as Null or the length of the first time the string was New’ed.
Anyone else noticed this?
Screen shot shows the String upto 76 chars, with the length it should be in Loc:CPUInfoLength.
The code works, its just the debugger in C11 not showing the NEW’ed string correctly, unless there is some sort of refresh I can apply to the pane?
Maybe put your breakpoint after the code that assigns the value?
The green bar is the current line I’ve stepped onto, its after the breakpoint.
If you want to see the value for CPUinfo_Pointer change, put a breakpoint after that line, such as where I have the arrow.
Oh, I see what you’re saying. The number of visible bytes doesn’t change.
Never noticed that.
Yeah the visible bit in the debugger pane isnt changing, in this example the string should be 176 chars but its still showing only the 76 chars from the first time it was NEW’ed.
I noticed that the “Watch Variable” window will re-fresh to the correct size if you close it then re-open. But not sure what you would do to force that other thing to re-load. It only sets the size when you expand the tree node. Until that point, it will be right when you first expand it.
I tried contracting it and expanding it, but it didnt change size here.
I’ll give it another go just to be sure.
