RE: [cdt-debug-dev] Address from CLocalVariable
Hi Mikhail,
    I am using tools from the MIPS Software Development Environment (SDE), including their gcc, gdb, etc.  Which GNU program usually parses a binary file?
    I found the links I was looking for in the plugin.xml file, as you suggested.  Now I have menu items that allow a user to select variables and functions.  Thanks for the pointer.

Hi Brent,
 
In my Modules view I see the opposite behaviour: the globals are listed in the view, but the list in the "Add Globals" dialog is empty. The problem is that the Modules view content provider is based on the C Model, but the dialog uses the associated binary parser to retrieve globals. These two features should use the same underlying mechanism. I submitted a bugzilla entry - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=161926.
By the way, what is your environment and which binary parser you are using?
Regarding your problems. First, the functions should be displayed in the Modules view along with globals, so probably it's the same problem. Second, you should be able to contribute actions to the Outline view. The CDT debugger contributes the "Toggle watchpoint" and "Toggle Breakpoint" actions to variables and functions in the Outline view. See the corresponding plugin.xml file for details.

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.
