Debug strings without <repeats x times> ? [message #898698]

Hi all,

In debug mode, where variables are displayed, a string may appear like this :

"__Ec___Ec", '_' <repeats 35 times>, "Ec__Ec_Ec", '_' <repeats 32 times>"

This is very smart in general, but in my application, it is a mask and I want it to be displayed without this synthetic way. Is it possible to suppress it and how please ?

So I could have :

"__Ec___Ec___________________________________Ec__Ec_Ec________________________________"

Hi,

To suppress <repeats x times> you have to configure gdb debugger. I couldn't find setting for that in Eclipse, but you can do it through console.

While debugging, in the upper right corner of the "Console" view find "Display Selected Console" icon. Click on the arrow next to it to open a list of consoles and select gdb console. Click inside the console to get the typing cursor blinking and type in "set print repeats unlimited". Hit Enter and you're done.
