DETAILS

The UIAAppCtx module defines context change events and methods that allow tooling to identify application context switches and to enable application-aware filtering, trace and analysis.

It inherits IUIACtx, which defines a function pointer to an isLoggingEnabled function which, if configured to point to a function, will evaluate the function prior to logging the context change event and will determine whether to log the event based on the return value of the function. If the function is not configured, logging will be conditional upon ti_uia_runtime_CtxFilter_gIsLoggingEnabled.

The generation of UIAAppCtx events is also controlled by a module's diagnostics mask, which is described in details in xdc.runtime.Diags. UIAAppCtx events are generated only when the Diags.ANALYSIS bit is set in the module's diagnostics mask.

The following configuration script demonstrates how the application might control the logging of ANALYSIS events embedded in the Mod module at configuration time. In this case, the configuration script arranges for the Log statements within modules to always generate ANALYSIS events. Without these configuration statements, no ANALYSIS events would be generated by any modules.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: The following shows how to turn on and off logging of ANALYSIS events from the application source code. See the Diags_setMask() function for details on specifying the control string.

  // turn on logging of ANALYSIS events in the module
  Diags_setMask("my.pkg.Mod+Z");
 
  // turn off logging of ANALYSIS events in the module
  Diags_setMask("my.pkg.Mod-Z");

Ctx Filter Enable Mask

C synopsis

target-domain

extern const Bits16 UIAAppCtx_ENABLEMASK;

 

DETAILS

configures which bit of the ti_uia_runtime_CtxFilter_gFlags is assigned to control context aware filtering for frame context changes. Must be configured with a value that is 2**SYNCID.

Trace Synchronization ID

C synopsis

target-domain

extern const Bits16 UIAAppCtx_SYNCID;

 

DETAILS

configures the value to be written into the 4 bit context change type field used by the UIASync trace synchronization

 

config UIAAppCtx_ctxChg  // module-wide

index URL

Application ID Context Change event

C synopsis

target-domain

extern const Log_Event UIAAppCtx_ctxChg;

 

VALUES

fmt — a constant string that describes the context change and provides a format specifier for newAppId

newAppId — an integer which uniquely identifies the new application context

DETAILS

Used to log switching to a new application. Note that this event should not be referenced directly by user code - it is used internally by the LogCtxChg_app function, which logs the previous app Id automatically.

EXAMPLE

The following C code shows how to log a Context Change event that identifies a newly loaded application ID

  #include <ti/uia/runtime/LogCtxChg.h>
  ...
  Void loadApplication(Int newAppId){
    ...
    LogCtxChg_app("New AppID=0x%x",newAppId);
    ...
  }

This event prints the Log call site (%$F) and a format string (%$S) which is recursively formatted with any addition arguments. The following text is an example of what will be displayed for the event:

  "AppID Ctx Change at Line 123 in appLoader.c [Prev. AppID = 0x1234] New AppID=0x1235"

UIAAppCtx_getCtxId()  // module-wide

index URL

Get the ID for the current channel

C synopsis

target-domain

macro Int UIAAppCtx_getCtxId();

 

RETURNS

returns the thread ID logged by the last call to UIAAppCtx_logCtxChg.

 

UIAAppCtx_isLoggingEnabled()  // module-wide

index URL

returns true if the new context matches the value to enable logging with

C synopsis

target-domain

Bool UIAAppCtx_isLoggingEnabled(UInt newAppId);

 

ARGUMENTS

newChanId — the new channel ID

DETAILS

Default implementation of the IUIACtx_IsLoggingEnabledFxn for user context. To enable context-aware filtering, assign UIAAppCtx_isLoggingEnabledFxn = &UIAAppCtx_isLoggingEnabled in the config script or programmatically, or assign your own implementation of this function.

RETURNS

true if logging is enabled

 

UIAAppCtx_setOldValue()  // module-wide

index URL

sets the ti_uia_events_UIAAppCtx_gLastValue to the new value and returns the old value before it was updated

C synopsis

target-domain

UInt UIAAppCtx_setOldValue(UInt newValue);

 

ARGUMENTS

newValue — the new value to save in the global variable

(return0 the original value of the global variable before it was updated.
