Solved: Setting character string variables in idb

ereisch · ‎08-09-2010

There should be an option to efficiently set character string variables in idb. Currently, the only way I'm aware of to set a multi-character variable string is to do a series of "set VAR(1) = 'T'; set VAR(2) = 'E'; set VAR(3) = 'S'; set VAR(4) = 'T'".

There should be an ability to set a series of consecutive characters in bulk, just as you can in code. i.e. "set VAR(1:4) = 'TEST'", or better yet, "set VAR = 'TEST'" or "set VAR(1) = 'TEST'".

TIA

Thank you for the post. Unfortunately this is a known limitation with IDB that Development may address in a future release. I associated the post with the the existing internal tracking id (see below) so as to keep it updated with any new developments.

(Internal tracking id: DPD200223507)

(Resolution Update on 8/30/2014): The internal tracking id has been closed as “Will not fix” to coincide with depreciation and removal of the Intel Debugger (IDB) from the Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2015 Release (refer to Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2015 Composer Edition for Linux* Release notes for some information)
