Re: [cdt-debug-dev] FW: Registers Window not Updating

["Michel Paquet" <michelp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ian,

I am not sure if this is a know problem
but I will suggest that if a problem is found on the CDT and that the bug
list doesn't seems to cover  it that a defect get submitted to the
bug tracking system (bugzilla). This will ensure that we track the reported
issues and close the defect with proper explanation. In the worse case,
the problem will be marked as duplicate in the resolution tab and closed.


Regards,

Michel .

Hi

Not really sure if this is a known problem or not  - I tried searching in the bugs for it and couldn't find anything. I am using CDT 1.1.0 and have noticed a problem with the register viewer. Once the registers are displayed in the registers window and the appropriate var objects are created and queried, the register values never change from that point on. The registers whose values have actually changed are highlighted appropriately as these are deduced from a call to "-data-list-changed-registers" but their values do not change. This appears to be due to the fact that a -var-update is not performed on the register variables. As a temporary measure for my own stuff I have overriden the getValueString method of Value in RegisterValue (in org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.cdi.model) to perfrom the update before the -var-evaluate-_expression_ and this works fine. However, as someone who is very new to Eclipse/CDT and hasn't got his head around the source code yet I am not sure if this is the most appropriate place for this. Anyway, that aside - is this a known problem? Or should I file it as a bug?

Cheers

Ian
