Subject: Can back trace be stopped from always prints "char*" strings ?
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 11:50:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47D79ECF.7000900@rtems.org> (raw)

Hello,

I have a union being passed to a function. The union is:

typedef union {
   /** This is a pointer to a string name. */
   const char *name_p;
   /** This is the actual 32-bit "raw" integer name. */
   uint32_t    name_u32;
} Objects_Name;

The problem is the bt command ties to read the string pointed to by name_p 
how-ever this can be any value if the name_u32 field has been set. This has 
side effects on the embedded target I am using like killing the session.

Is there a way to stop the bt accessing the char* data and just printing the 
pointer value ?

Regards
Chris
