A Comprehensive Introduction to the Menu Bar Function and Usage of IAR Single Chip Microcomputer Pro

I. write in front

IAR software has several series versions, such as MSP430, stm8, etc. However, in order to make the software "compatible", many series of software launched by IAR have similarities in many places, including the contents of IAR menu. Therefore, the content of this paper is also applicable to other series of IAR software.

Because there are many menu contents, I divide them into two articles: "menu (I)" and "menu (II)". In order to simplify the content of the article, it is too simple, infrequently used and too complex to only briefly describe.

II. Main menu content

There are some differences in the main menu in different states. For example, there are differences in editing mode and debugging mode, and there are also differences in different simulation debuggers.

1. Edit / debug mode difference

There are 8 main menus in edit mode, and two menus of debug debugging and disassembly are added in debug mode.

2. Differences between different simulation debuggers

There is a simulatoe menu option in the main menu above. In fact, this menu is changed according to the simulation debugger configured by your project.

For example, differences under simulation, j-link and St link:

III. File menu

File menu is a common menu, which mainly includes some common operations such as creating, opening, closing and printing files. It is exactly the same in editing and debugging modes.

1. New: new file / workspace Ctrl n

12. Recent files: recently opened files

13. Recent workspaces: recently opened workspaces

14. Exit: exit the software

â…£. Edit menu

This menu is also the same in editing and debugging modes. It is often used and commonly used in editing.

1. Undo: undo editing Ctrl Z

2. Redo: redo editing Ctrl y

3. Cut: cut Ctrl X

4. Copy: copy Ctrl C

5. Paste: paste Ctrl V

6. Select all: select all Ctrl A

7. Find and replace: find Ctrl F

Find and replace find previous (selected): find the previous target in the selected object Ctrl Shift F3

Find and replace: replace Ctrl H

Find and replace find in files: specify search criteria in the dialog box

Find and replace in files: specify conditional replacement in the dialog box

Find and replace incremental search: find the character Ctrl I in the dialog box

8. Navigate to: go to the row Ctrl G

Navigate toggle bookmark: Mark / cancel bookmark Ctrl F2

Navigate previous bookmark: jump to previous bookmark Shift F2

Navigate next bookmark: jump to the next bookmark

Navigate backward: jump to the previous step Alt left arrow

Navigate forward: jump to next Alt right arrow

Navigate go to definition: jump to F12

9. Code templates insert template: insert template Ctrl Alt V

Code templates: edit templates

10. Next error / tag: displays the next error / target F4

11. Previous error / tag: displays the previous error / target shift F4

12. Complete word: completion statement Ctrl Alt space

13. Complete code: completion class / structure code Ctrl space

14. Parameter hint: parameter prompt Ctrl Shift space

15. Match brackets: brackets match

16. Toggle all folders: fold / open face to face edit code Ctrl Alt F

17. Auto indent: Auto indent (align) Ctrl T

18. Block comment: block comment Ctrl k

19. Block uncomment: block uncomment Ctrl Shift k

20. Toggle breakpoint: Add / cancel breakpoint F9

21. Enable / disable breakpoint: enable / disable breakpoint Ctrl F9

The above is a brief description of the contents of each sub menu (the part is the same as the toolbar button, which can be viewed by clicking the article link). Several common and important menus will be described in detail below.

1. Insert / edit template

Often use the same piece of code, you can use this function. IAR has only if and for templates by default. We can add (Edit) templates ourselves, such as adding a while template. Click the "Edit template" menu to enter the editing status. The editing syntax is very simple. You can refer to the self-contained template.

Insert / edit template animation effects:

2. Completion statement

I learned cloze in primary school. Here is equivalent to that meaning, that is to complete the words. For example, the complete code is USART_ Initializes. In fact, you only need to enter the USA letter to complete it.

Animation effect of completion statement:

3. Auto indent

This function is more practical. When your code is messy (that is, it is not correct), you can use this function to automatically align the code.

Auto indent animation effect:

V. View menu

This menu means to open or close the view window. For example, if our workspace window is missing, you can open it through this menu. Due to the addition of some view windows in debugging mode, there are some differences between the two modes.

The content of this section is simple. It is easy to understand by referring to the animation effects below. The contents of the View menu are listed below.

1. Messages build: compile messages

Messages find in files: find information

Messages tool output: tool information

Messages debug log: debug information

2. Workspace: workspace window

3. Source browser: source browser

Source browser References: reference window

Source browser declarations: declaration window

Source browser call graph: call graph window

4. Breakpoints: View Breakpoints window

5. Disassembly: Disassembly window

6. Memory: memory window

7. Symbolic memory: memory mark window

8. Register: register window

9. Watch: variable / parameter view window

15. Call stack: Call Stack window

16. Stack: stack address window

18. Images: picture window

19. Cores: kernel status window

21. Toolbars Main: main toolbar

Toolbars debug: debug toolbars

22. Status bar: status bar

In edit mode, briefly show the function of view: close all views and open common views step by step.

View animation effects:
