Alan, please see Eclipse bugzilla bug 122705 at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=122705 The non-persistence of non-default variable format settings after breakpoints was submitted as a bug in January 2006, and confirmed today (9/1/06) as yet to be fixed. However variables and registers can be set up to display in hex by default (prefs->c/c++->debug). Also, unlike variables, non-default register format settings *are* persistent across breakpoints, so perhaps this is a workaround if you don't mind bringing up the disassembly view to see what register is what. Unfortunately non-default display formats are not persistent across debug sessions for either variables or registers. Hope this helps. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Eclipse-and-MSPGCC---setting-the-default-variable-format-tf1697524.html#a6103024 Sent from the MSP430 gcc - Users forum at Nabble.com.
