[cdt-debug-dev] address spaces

[John Cortell <r4609c@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has there been any meaningful discussions on adding support for address 
spaces in Eclipse/CDT? I understand this was brought up as an item in the 
Chicago meeting last month. The way we see it, there are two levels of 
support:
	
- superficial : user can view the contents of memory in different address 
spaces in the Memory View.

- complete : variables, expressions and code locations can be in different 
address spaces. For this level of support, the debugger infrastructure 
would need to use something other than a primitive integer type to 
represent a memory address. A particular location in memory would have to 
be represented by an address + address space identifier.

I understand the need for this sort of thing is particular to the embedded 
world. Still, if CDT is to be considered a viable platform for the embedded 
market, address spaces will need to be considered.

Thoughts?
