CONFIG_CORTEX_M_NULL_POINTER_EXCEPTION¶

(No prompt – not directly user assignable.)

Type: bool

Help¶

Enable and use the null pointer exception option.
This is a debug feature in Cortex-M, allowing for
detecting null pointer dereferencing (raising a
CPU fault). Supporting the feature results in an
increased code footprint, determined by option
CORTEX_M_NULL_POINTER_EXCEPTION_PAGE_SIZE.

Note: this hidden option is selected by the choice
symbols corresponding to the DWT-based or to the
MPU-based solution.

Direct dependencies¶

CPU_CORTEX_M && ARM

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)

Defaults¶

No defaults. Implicitly defaults to n.
