Re: [cdt-debug-dev] RetargetAddMemoryAction

[John Cortell <john.cortell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, this might seem like a naive question, but can you provide a 
definition for "communication to the model". It seems like you'd 
consider a call to IAddMemoryBlocksTarget.canAddMemoryBlocks() NOT to 
fall into that definition, even though IAddMemoryBlocksTarget is 
something the client implements and is part of the model (for 
example, CDT's IStackFrame implementation).

Maybe the definition involves a judgment call one whether a 
particular model operation is thin or heavy (requires access to the 
thing being debugged--say a board, for example).
