[ixp1200] Question about Transactor

[xtan at mail]

Thank you very much! But is there a method to preserve the register name
before the compilation?

Using the workbench it is possible to see which register is assigned to
a
variable. Debug the program and in the window that shows the source
code,
switch in assembly mode. (that's the button with the two little squares
one green and one yellow).

 There you can search the name of the variable to find the assigned
register. It will be something like <varname>:<reg>

 You can even right click on the name to add a watch on the register.

 Note, that a variable may be mapped somewhere else and not in a
register.

 I hope I provided some help.
