Bug:single Step Runs Forever

[Reynard 0]

Pressing Step Into or Step over causes debugger to run forever after a couple of steps.

 

Program should just loop in single step mode forever for each button press.

 

#include <system.h>

 

unsigned char ucTest;

bool bTest;

 

void main(void)

{

bTest = false;

 

for (; {

if (bTest) {

ucTest = 1;

}

}

}

 

Also, pressing the reset button (after stopping run forever) does not reset the debug cursor to the first instruction.

 

Using: BoostC & IDE 6.81

Windows XP Pro SP2

PIC16F873A

 

Cheers

See no problem here. The code loops around 2 assembly instructions that both belong to the same source code line so there is no opportunity for execution line to advance to any other source code line. That's why it looks like stepping takes forever.

And there was me thinking it would step through the lines of source code including the for (;. Doh !
