Re: [cdt-debug-dev] address spaces
|
It would be better to post this questions to the platform mailing list
(platform-debug-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx). The Memory View implementation in CDT is
based on the platform framework and UI. The modifications to support
address spaces should be done in the platform.

Subject: [cdt-debug-dev] address spaces
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?
John
