Description

This class can be used to control the execution of the program on a target.

Methods which start execution have two overloads. The second overload has additional parameter, which specifies wait for stop timeout. Functionally this call is equivalent to calling the first overload and waitUntilStopped(), but the first approach uses less CPU time, because pooling is done at lower levels in winIDEA.

Python example for method call().
Python example for method runUntilFunction().
Python example for methods hotAttach() and hotDetach().

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ETimeoutMode

enum isys::CExecutionController::ETimeoutMode

Timeout mode and time.

Enumerator
TOUT_NONE	does not wait for stop, returns immediately. The target may still be running, when method returns.
TOUT_1s	waits at most 1 s for stop
TOUT_10s	waits at most 10 s for stop
TOUT_100s	waits at most 100 s for stop
TOUT_INF	waits forever for stop. WARNING: Since winIDEA GUI is blocked during wait, you may have to switch off the debugger if target never stops.

This method is non-blocking. When it returns, the program might still be running. Call getStatus() or waitUntilStopped() to be sure that the program has stopped (note that the program can also stop for other reasons, for example a breakpoint, so checking an address may also be needed in some cases).

Parameters

memArea	memory space. Definitions for individual CPUs are provided in MemArea.h
address	of the memory location

Returns: S_OK

Python example: test_run_until_address.py

◆ runUntilAddress() [2/2]

	)

Runs the program until the address is reached.

Parameters

memArea	memory space. Definitions for individual CPUs are provided in MemArea.h
address	of the memory location
timeoutMode	specifies whether to wait until the target is stopped and how long to wait.
throwOnTimeout	if true, exception is thrown on timeout. If false, check return code to detect timeout.

int isys::CExecutionController::runUntilFunction ( const std::string & functionName )

Runs the program until the start of the function is reached.

This method is non-blocking. When it returns, the program might still be running. Call waitUntilStopped() to be sure that the program has stopped (note that the program can also stop for other reasons, for example a breakpoint, so checking an address may also be needed in some cases).

Parameters

functionName name of the function

Returns: S_OK

Python example: test_run_until_function.py

		ETimeoutMode	timeoutMode,
		bool	throwOnTimeout,
		bool	throwOnUnexpectedStop
	)

Runs the program until the start of the function is reached.

This method differs from other runUntil...() methods in verification of stop address. If it differs from function address, a status code is returned or IOException is thrown.

Parameters

functionName	name of the function
timeoutMode	specifies whether to wait until the target is stopped and how long to wait. Must not be CExecutionController::TOUT_NONE, or results are unpredictable.
throwOnTimeout	if true, exception is thrown on timeout. If false, check return code to detect timeout.
throwOnUnexpectedStop	if true, and the function is not reached because target stopped for some other reason, an IOException is thrown.

Returns: S_OK if the target is stopped at the specified function. Returns ICONNECT_E_TIMEOUT when timeout is specified and the target is still running (timeout expired). Returns ICONNECT_S_MSG_FAIL when the target is stopped, but not at the specified function.

Parameters

functionName	name of the function
timeoutMode	specifies whether to wait until the target is stopped and how long to wait.
throwOnTimeout	if true, exception is thrown on timeout. If false, check return code to detect timeout.

Python example: test_step_inst.py

◆ stepOverHigh()

int isys::CExecutionController::stepOverHigh	(	ETimeoutMode	timeoutMode = `TOUT_10s`,
		bool	throwOnTimeout = `true`
	)

Steps one statement in the source code, does not enter functions.

Parameters

timeoutMode	defines how log to wait for target stop
throwOnTimeout	if true, exception is thrown on timeout. If false, caller should check return code to detect timeout.

Returns: S_OK if timeoutMode == CExecutionController::TOUT_NONE, or when the target is stopped. Returns ICONNECT_E_TIMEOUT when timeout is specified and the target is still running (timeout expired).

Parameters

timeoutMode	defines how log to wait for target stop
throwOnTimeout	if true, exception is thrown on timeout. If false, caller should check return code to detect timeout.

Returns: S_OK if timeoutMode == CExecutionController::TOUT_NONE, or when the target is stopped. Returns ICONNECT_E_TIMEOUT when timeout is specified and the target is still running (timeout expired).

		uint32_t	pollingIntervalMs = `100`,
		bool	isThrow = `false`
	)

This method polls CPU status with the given polling interval and returns when CPU is stopped or timeout expires.

This method waits if CPU is in any other state than stopped state, for example running, halted, must init, ...

Parameters

timeoutMs	timeout in milliseconds. 0 means infinite timeout
pollingIntervalMs	time in milliseconds between two readings of the CPU status
isThrow	if true and timeout occurs, an exception is thrown

Returns: true if CPU is in stopped state, false if timeout expired and isThrow == false

Python example: test_control.py

bool isys::CExecutionController::waitWhileRunning	(	int	timeoutMs,
		uint32_t	pollingIntervalMs = `100`,
		bool	isThrow = `false`
	)

This method polls CPU status with the given polling interval and returns when CPU is no longer running or timeout expires.

The difference to waitUntilStopped() method is that waitUntilStopped() expects exactly stopped state to return - it won't return on must init state, for example. waitWhileRunning() method will wait only if the target is in running state - it will return on any other state, for example stopped, must init, halted, ...

Parameters

timeoutMs	timeout in milliseconds. 0 means infinite timeout
pollingIntervalMs	time in milliseconds between two readings of the CPU status
isThrow	if true and timeout occurs, an exception is thrown

Returns: true if CPU is not running, false if timeout expired and isThrow == false
