The MPLAB projects that are generated on compilation don't set up the compilation within MPLAB to allow for debugging and stepping through the code. This is generally what I want to do when I go to use MPLAB. I've found that changing the following options allow for code step-through and variable watching:

Project->Build options->Project under the MPLAB LINK30 tab, Diagnostics category select "Generate map file"

Project->Build options->Project under the MPLAB C30 tab, General category select "Generate debugging information"



Would it make sense for these options to be set by default in the generated MPLAB projects?

If I change just those two settings I mentioned above, then the .mcp file TOOL_SETTINGS section looks as follows:

[TOOL_SETTINGS]

TS{7D9C6ECE-785D-44CB-BA22-17BF2E119622}=

TS{25AC22BD-2378-4FDB-BFB6-7345A15512D3}=-g -O3 -fschedule-insns -fschedule-insns2

TS{7DAC9A1D-4C45-45D6-B25A-D117C74E8F5A}=-Map="$(BINDIR_)$(TARGETBASE).map" --report-mem -o"$(BINDIR_)$(TARGETBASE).$(TARGETSUFFIX)"

TS{509E5861-1E2A-483B-8B6B-CA8DB7F2DD78}=

The bold parts are the only things that've changed.

Thanks Bryant,



This will be taken into account in the next release (after 3.4c).
