| [cdt-debug-dev] ICDIThreadGroup.getCurrentThread() |
|
I am implementing a CDT debugger and I am wandering what is
the meaning of ICDIThreadGroup.getCurrentThread in terms of Debug Model. The documentation says “Returns the currently selected
thread.” but it is not clear what “selected” means. Is it implied that when a thread is halted it automatically
changes the current thread in the model? What happens if few threads are halted
at the same time? May be it is clear for GDB experts but I want to make sure I
implement it properly for our debugger too. I see how it is used in CDT but I was wandering if that context
should only be kept in the presentation layer. Or on the other side we could propagate the context to the
model – then we probably need also a method ICDIThreadGroup.setCurrentThread.
Also we may need similar IThread.setCurrentStackFrame, getCurrentStackFrame. And
may be notifications when that context changes. Any thoughts…. May be I am missing something… Thanks Dobrin |
