Watch Variables Always "out Of Scope"

[dgille 0]

Hello to all:

After using BoostC for some time now, I find that I have a problem that I've not seen before. After a clean compile and download through ICD2 to my target (PIC 18F4550) using either run to breakpoint or steping none of my Watched variables are being updated. Only the SFRs are updated. The value column of the watch window shows "Out of Scope" for all the compiler generated variables.

 

I'm using BoostC V6.89 with MPLAB V8.10 and ICD2.

 

This is a recent ocurance. I'd estimate the issue is only a few days old. I've only changed the target board (an old Xilent X18A to a newer X18A) which is an exact copy of the old board.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks much,

d

What happens if you watch variables using the MPLAB ide and simulator?

Dave,

When I run the same program under the Boost IDE the watch window reports "ERROR" as the value.

 

Just tried it with the simulator, variables are still "Out of Scope"
