RE: [cdt-debug-dev] CDI proposals (on the wiki)

As far as I know, even if there are no legal barriers from his company,
the Eclipse Foundation still have to check the code. The committer who
appllies the patch should fill a special form and send the patch to the
Eclipse Foundation. The patch can only be applied after it's been
approved by them. That's my understanding, by I am not an expert. Ask
Dave I. or Doug.

As far as I remember, the patch extends the existing CDI types by adding
a new generic type. My suggestion is to add a mechanism (extension
point) to do it instead of extending the CDI.
Logical structures and detail panels are used to provide special
presentations of the existing types.

According to an email from Matthias, there was no legal barrier to this
patch, see:


http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-debug-dev/msg01560.html

I've updated the PR with your comments
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=126092

Maybe we can resolve this.

Hmm ..
There is an item to use the logical structure and the detail pane to
deal with this.  Are we overlapping?

Ok, If we can do this for 4.0 we should move the milestone.
But #84934 needs a change to CDI also

You mention this a few times last year, but I've been so disconnected
from CDT/Debug that my mind is blank, send me an email to refresh my
memories.
