RE: [cdt-debug-dev] [Bug 104421] Register view can not showcorrec tvalue

[Sebastien Marineau <sebastien@xxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately, this may be more complicated. From the conversation yesterday
on the call and Mikhail's comment below, it looks like the fix will require
a change to CDI. While I have no doubt this can be fixed by end of year, I'm
not sure breaking the CDI interfaces in a minor release is really
appropriate.

Here's a couple of thoughts:

1. how long would it actually take to implement the "right" solution
including the CDI change (plus implementation)? Can we make a go/no-go
decision based on this?
2. would it be possible (if we don't do #1) to make the adjustments to CDI
(e.g. update the interfaces) so that we don't have to break them when fixing
this issue -- we add "getRegisterGroups" to "ICDIStackFrame" for 3.0 while
"getRegisterGroups" in "ICDITarget" becomes deprecated with our next
release.
3. In any case, we should definitely include this in a 3.0.1 pure bugfix
release (as opposed to 3.1 with some features).
