$FUNCTION not working

Hello,
I am trying the $FUNCTION special keywork within a "When Hit" Breakpoint condition.
This keyword should be supported as per the documentation but instead it is ignored and nothing will print when hit.

For example by using:
Hello from the $FUNCTION function

I get the following in the Micro Debug Trace:
Hello from the  function

I am running the latest version 1412.10, and also SP2 does not make it work. Cry

Thanks
Andrea

Hi,

$FUNCTION works okay but I think it is Visual Studio causing some confusion.

If you place a breakpoint in a function then the function name is populated but if you place the breakpoint on the function name then it is not?

For some reason Visual Studio does not provide the name of a function for a breakpoint that is placed on the name of the function.

You can see this by placing two breakpoints, one inside and one on a function, then look ati the breakpoint tool tips or the breakpoint listing window. You will see when a function name will be available during debug.

Thanks

Hello Tim,
first I'm in Atmel Studio 6.2, don't know if what you say applies to it as well.
However I don't fully understand your comment: I just followed the sample in the documentation and it does not work as indicated. See "Showing the function name" in http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Working-With-Breakpoints.htm...

Can you share a sample project that shows it working right?

Thanks
Andrea
