Source Code

Access to Source Code Files

The source correlation tool set must be able to access the high-level
source code files referenced by the symbol information so that these
source files can be displayed next to and correlated with the logic
analyzer's execution trace acquisition. This requires you to be aware of
a number of issues.
Source File Search Path
Verify that the correct file search paths for the source code have been
entered into the source correlation tool set. The HP B4620B Source
Correlation Tool Set can often read and access the correct source code
file from information contained in the symbol file, if the source code
files have not been moved since they were compiled.
Network Access to Source Files
If source code files are being accessed across a network, the logic
analyzer networking must be compatible with the network
environment. HP logic analyzers currently support Ethernet networks
running a TCP/IP protocol and support ftp, telnet, NFS client/server
and X-Window client/server applications. Some PC networks may
require extensions to the normal LAN protocols to support the TCP/IP
protocol and/or these networking applications. Contact your LAN
administrator to help set up the logic analyzer on the network.
Source File Version Control
If the source code files are under a source code or version control
utility, check the file names and paths carefully. These utilities can
change source code file paths and file names. If these names are
changed from the names in the symbol file, the source correlation tool
set will not be able to find the proper source code file. Version control
utilities usually provide an "export" command that creates a set of
source code files with unmodified names. The source correlation tool
set can then be given the correct path to these files.
