I think this is a corruption of the registry list, the plugin is trying to read a thread name from something that looks like code, being the pointer not aligned the plugin generates that error.

I will try to make the plugin more error tolerant but I believe that the error is an effect of something else possibly a stack overflow corrupting the registry list.

Field p_name contain correct pointer - 0x08008d80

The problem is that the plugin is trying to read that location as it was a thread name pointer, this is why the I think the registry is corrupted, while scanning the list one of the pointers points to something that is not a thread structure.

You may try to "manually scan" the registry by inspecting in Eclipse the global variable "rlist", then follow the r_newer link (or r_older in the other direction).

Plugin v. 1.0.7 now works without any problems with dynamic threads. Tested with dynamic shell thread.

Is font size configurable for Eclipse plugins? on Mac OS X with Eclipse Helios the font size of the Chibios plugin is incredibly small - very pixelated and basically impossible to read. The actual window elements are fine, but the information about the threads etc is super small. This is with v 1.0.7 - I haven't tried any other versions.

The font is a Courier-new 8, it this font present in Mac OS?

Giovanni

It is present but looks really small, even in the font util.
That is exactly how it appears in the chibios plugin as well. Most of the other fonts look better at size 8.

Hmm attachment doesnt seem to work very well. see here http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37 ... at174.png/

Strange, it does not look that way in both Windows and Linux, I will look into adding a font option but that would create a lot of other problems with column sizes.

For reference, 'Courier' looks fine at size 8. Are you able to detect which OS is being used and switch accordingly?
