Debug Watch with Bit indexing

BTL24

I have been trying to understand why I cannot get the Watch directive to show bit indexes of variables.· The Watch register just shows "0".

Here is SX/B sample code to·load a var "i" with 127 (byte).· Then I want to look at each bit in Byte I using the Watch directive in the debugger....


device·sx28, osc4mhz, turbo, stackx, optionx
freq·4_000_000

i·var byte

program start

Start:
·i=127

·watch i,8,ubin
·watch i.0,1,ubin
·watch i.1,1,ubin
·watch i.2,1,ubin·

goto start


What I see in the debug Watch register is ...

i······· %0111_1111
i.0····· %1
i.1····· %0
i.2····· %0

As can be seen the i variable is loaded correctly with the value 127 (Dec).·
Why does i.0 work and the others i.1 and i.2 not work?

What am I doing wrong?

System:····· DELL XP Desktop
SXKey IDE:· v3.2.92h BETA
SX Key:······ Rev F
SX Chip:····· SX28AC/dp·· Date code: AB9932AB
Interface:·····Serial RS232


Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

Brian,
This is a bug in the SX-Key IDE. It has been brought up several times.
It also affects SX/B bit variables. Unless they are in bit position 0, they don't change in the watch window.

Bean... Thanks a million.. Whew!· ·I thought I was losing my mind.

I did find out that if I assign a bit to another variable (i.e., a = i.3) and then "Watch" that new variable (i.e., a), I can make it work for the time being.··... but it wastes valuable RAM space.·· I can always look at the full byte as a partial solution too.

Thanks again....
