Labels

Labels can also be included in a C expression. The evaluator looks for C level

information first and then label information. If it finds a label it will prefix it with a

‘:’.

It is recommended that you use this prefix when entering labels to explicitly tell the

evaluator that it is looking at a label.

Note: Labels have a C type of ‘int’.

Functions

If you include a function name in an expression, its value will be the same as its

address. It will appear in a Watch window as follows:

int ( ) main = (...) (0x80010BFC)

Note: This is contrary to C where the value of a function, is what is returned from

the function when it is executed.

Note: It is recommended that you access the address of a function via the ‘&’

operator or the Assembler label.

Expression Evaluation Name Resolution

In summary, the search order for a name in an expression is as follows:

Escaped Register Names (prefix ‘$’)

Escaped Label Names (prefix ‘:’)

C Names
