Dear All,

I use Eclipse for several last releases (currently Mars Release Candidate 2 (4.5.0RC2) Build id: 20150528-0540) with hardware debugging (GNU ARM C/C++ J-Link debugging plugin with its own GDB server) and since ever I face annoying problem. Each time I select an address in Memory View along with rendering details (like bytes per column, columns count, hex or decimal, etc.), these are stored only until end of debugging session. When I stop it and start over again, I need to set them up again and again, which is particularly annoying when e.g. I need to track down a problem with single bytes in an input buffer and the default settings with 32-bit rendering, automatic (= random) columns count need to be changed after each recompile.

Is it just me or there isn't such functionality and Eclipse cannot remember these settings across few debugging sessions? I did some research over net, but couldn't find anything useful.

Or maybe someone could point me a file within .workspace directory I could edit manually and change these default settings (which actually suit me very rarely).

Kind regards,
Marcin

AFAICT some people started working on this (clearly missing!) feature a number of years ago, but despite some initial work it was never followed up. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=346693

I don't think there is any hidden setting to get this now. What is needed is for someone who depends/uses Eclipse CDT to fund such development. Contributions welcome here! I'll happily review any contributions made in this area.

Great! Thanks for that, I'm so desperate, that I'll probably finally learn on how to recompile Eclipse. That's so pity this patch wasn't included in official Eclipse sources. After 5 years it might not work out of the box (and besides I'm embedded C developer, not especially in love with java.... Smile
