[cdt-debug-dev] Really Fixing Arrays

[Chris Songer <songer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm motivated to fix large arrays and the variable view by doing lazy 
retrieval of entries from GDB. My goal is that a user's request for the 
last 128 entries of a 32k array create a request to gdb for somewhere 
closer to 128 entries than the current request for 32k entries.

The thing I'm not happy about is that -var-list-children does not allow 
specification of a range of children. I don't see anything in the MI 
documentation or code that lets me get at a variable's children in anything 
other than an all or nothing fashion.

Lets presume an array int a[128]. The only thing I can find that will do 
what I want is this:

-var-create arraymagicunique_a_1 "*" a[1]
-var-evaluate-expression arraymagicunique_a_1

Any other suggestions for how to use MI to do this?

Thanks!
-Chris
