Hello!
I have a CDT-based debugger and want to add some information into the lettering in the thread node. I want the lettering surrounded by the red rectangle to display some additional information (see attached screenshot).
AFAIR, the format string for this label is set in the property ThreadVMNode_No_columns__text_format in file C:\Users\...\workspace\org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.ui\src\org\eclipse\cdt\dsf\gdb\internal\ui\viewmodel\launch\MessagesForGdbLaunchVM.properties.
# {0} - name available, 0=not available/1=available
# {1} - name
# {2} - ID available, 0=not available/1=available
# {3} - ID
# {4} - OS Thread ID available, 0=not available/1=available
# {5} - OS Thread ID
# {6} - Core available, 0=not available/1=available
# {7} - Core
# {8} - 0=running/1=suspended
# {9} - state change reason available, 0=not available/1=available
# {10} - state change reason
# {11} - state change details available, 0=not available/1=available
# {12} - state change details
ThreadVMNode_No_columns__text_format={0,choice,0#Thread|1#{1}}{2,choice,0#|1# [{3}]}{4,choice,0#|1# {5}}{6,choice,0#|1# [core: {7}]} ({8,choice,0#Running|1#Suspended}{9,choice,0#|1# : {10}}{11,choice,0#|1# : {12}})
This format string is used in method org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.internal.ui.viewmodel.launch.ThreadVMNode.createLabelProvider():
public class ThreadVMNode extends AbstractThreadVMNode
implements IElementLabelProvider, IElementMementoProvider
{
[...]
@Override
protected IElementLabelProvider createLabelProvider() {
PropertiesBasedLabelProvider provider = new PropertiesBasedLabelProvider();
provider.setColumnInfo(
PropertiesBasedLabelProvider.ID_COLUMN_NO_COLUMNS,
new LabelColumnInfo(new LabelAttribute[] {
// Text is made of the thread name followed by its state and state change reason.
new GdbExecutionContextLabelText(
MessagesForGdbLaunchVM.ThreadVMNode_No_columns__text_format,
new String[] {
ExecutionContextLabelText.PROP_NAME_KNOWN,
PROP_NAME,
ExecutionContextLabelText.PROP_ID_KNOWN,
ILaunchVMConstants.PROP_ID,
IGdbLaunchVMConstants.PROP_OS_ID_KNOWN,
IGdbLaunchVMConstants.PROP_OS_ID,
IGdbLaunchVMConstants.PROP_CORES_ID_KNOWN,
IGdbLaunchVMConstants.PROP_CORES_ID,
ILaunchVMConstants.PROP_IS_SUSPENDED,
ExecutionContextLabelText.PROP_STATE_CHANGE_REASON_KNOWN,
ILaunchVMConstants.PROP_STATE_CHANGE_REASON,
ExecutionContextLabelText.PROP_STATE_CHANGE_DETAILS_KNOWN,
ILaunchVMConstants.PROP_STATE_CHANGE_DETAILS}),
AFAIK in order to add a new piece of information to the display it is necessary to
1) override the format string MessagesForGdbLaunchVM.properties and
2) add the new string into the string array in the call to the constructor GdbExecutionContextLabelText.
What is the best way to do both these things (preferably not changing the code of the Eclipse/CDT core classes) ?
Specifying a custom debug model presentation (extension point "org.eclipse.debug.ui.debugModelPresentations") didn't help.
Many thanks in advance!
