RE: [cdt-debug-dev] Address from CLocalVariable
Hi Alain,
    Your suggestion to use Stackframe.evaluateExpression("&myLocalVariable"); worked perfectly.  Thanks!

Hi Mikhail,
    Your Modules view must be different than mine (Eclipse 3.2.1, CDT 3.1.1).  While debugging a C program, my Modules view shows the application name in a tree view, and when opened, it lists all the .c files in my project.  There are no global variables listed there.
    My Variables view has a pop-up menu with an option to "Add Global Variables..." and that will allow me to select some globals to add to my list of variables.
    But the only place to find a list of functions is in the Outline view, unless I'm overlooking another view.  Should they be listed somewhere else?

    Here's my problem: I've created a new view and I want to add all types of symbols (variables and functions) to this list.  I used a menu item in the Variables view as the mechanism to add symbols to my view.  This now works for local and global variables, but not for functions.  For some reason, I tried adding the same pop-up menu item to org.eclipse.ui.views.ContentOutline but it didn't work -- any idea why?
    Or should I just have my own list of symbols, and how would I get this list?  Lots of questions, I know.

For the address of the local variable, maybe he could evaluate the
_expression_ on the Stackframe:

Stackframe.evaluateExpression("&myLocalVariable");


Note: I did not try it.
