[cdt-debug-dev] CDT/Debug proposed plan
|
The plan below is a proto plan and input from the community is very welcome.
A- The overall themes for C/C++ debug are:
- robust and enhance
- improve usability
- improve documentation, write articles
B- Planned Items
- Architectural issues
* CDI interface improvements
+ VariableManager:
- able to get static variables,
- facilitate book-keeping of variable
less intruisive on the target agent.
* Tutorials and examples on the use of CDI/Launch
+ CDI spy examples
* More work on the default CDI (gdb/mi) implementation:
+ GDB/MI improvements
+ exploit more of the features from gdb, in the mi.core.
- Performance
* Improve the performance by caching the result
+ Register implementation needs more caching
- Launch configurations
* Remote debugging (??)
* Environment variable
+ macro substitution i.e. ${PATH}:/home/bin
+ show default environment list.
- Source Locator
* include in the launch configuration tabs
* add persistency
* Contribution to the debug target in the launch view
to able to change the source paths at runtime
* allow external source paths
* providing the scheme as JDT debug, where an "fake" editor
is shown with the possibility to "attach source"
* special source locator for Cygwin?
* extension point for contribution of other SourceLocator
* mapping of prefix:
/home/joe/src --> /../workspace/joe/src
Some executables are compiled with absolute paths
providing a mapping allows to move the sources.
- Disassembly View
* Breakpoints
+ editor breakpoint actions
+ address breakpoints(with Dialog)
+ run to line(address)
* switch from source to disassembly
+ breakpoints persist beetween the two views
* persitency of the address breakpoints.
- Function breakpoint
* Contribution to the Outline ICElement(IMethod/IFunction)
* from a dialog box if no source available.
- Signal manager in CDI
* Signal view
* actions (pass/nostop/etc..)
- Shared library manager
* shared view
* actions (load(unload ?) symbols)
* loading of breakpoint when shared is loaded
- Formatting Values
* octal/binary/...
- Update UI after console commands
* setting/deleting/changing breakpoints
