I have some quite complicated structs which contain data buffers and the
decoded protocol they contain wrapped in unions for ease of access,
which cause Insight to crash when I try and inspect them.
The following is simplified version of the code which causes the crash,
it does not have a problem if there is only 1 union inside the struct,
only if there are 2 or more. I tried it on both the embedded stm32 I am
developing for and on the PC, same thing. Inspecting the struct in gdb
works ok.
testcase:
#include <stdio.h>
struct buggystruct {
union {
char a;
int b;
};
union {
char c;
int d;
};
};
int main(void) {
struct buggystruct bs;
bs.a=1;
bs.c=2;
// put a breakpoint here and try to expand bs in Local Variables
printf("a=%d b=%d c=%d e=%d \n", bs.a, bs.b, bs.c, bs.d);
}
this works ok:
(gdb) step
a=1 b=-10751 c=2 e=32514
23 }
(gdb) print bs
$2 = {{a = 1 '\001', b = -10751}, {c = 2 '\002', d = 32514}}
