You can define a macro that contains a sequence of RealView Debugger commands. When used in this way, the command must be enclosed by dollar signs ($), for example:

$fprintf 50, "the important variable is %d\n", var1$;

Macros containing commands are similar to command files and can be used for setting up complex initialization conditions. These macros are executed by entering the macro name and any parameters on RealView Debugger command line.

The following commands cannot be used inside a macro:

Because macros can return a value, they can also be used in expressions. When the macro executes, the return value is used according to the return type.
