[cdt-debug-dev] register groups

["Alexiev, Dobrin" <dalexiev@xxxxxx>]

I was wandering what is the current support for "Register groups" in
CDT. 

Our beta product is based on CDT 2.0.2 and that version CDT simply
inserts one register group - "main". Adding multiple registry groups is
pretty important usability feature for out customers so we modified CDT
and GDB to support multiple registry groups. 

The way I did it was by adding custom MI/GDB command that returns the
registry groups and the association between a group and a register. At
that time I propose the change but it was rejected since it was based on
custom MI/GDB command. 

If there is current plan in CDT to support registry group, I would like
to know and possibly comply with it. 

If there is no plan right now I can rework my implementation. I can
define an extension point that provides registry grouping and not rely
on custom MI/GDB command. There will be a default extension
implementation that will add the "main" group. Other plugin can add
their own registry grouping providers. 

Let me know what you think. Are there other embedded developers that
would like to see this feature in CDT?

I search Bugzilla for registry grouping entry but I couldn't find any. 
Should I file one?
