Hi,
I am looking into the disassembly view to see why the view
doesn’t update when I select different elements in the debug view.
Here is my use case; I am debugging a local C program using GDB/DSF.
After launch, the program is suspended at main and the disassembly view shows
the correct disassembled instructions. However, when I select the thread
element, process element, launch element, or debugger element, of the same
launch, the view doesn’t update. It looks like it only update when I
select the stackframe. This is more visible when you have two threads in the same
launch, selecting between the thread elements don’t cause the disassembly
view to update.
Disassembler doesn’t require a stackframe to call to
the backend, but do need the stackframe for the start address. So selecting the
thread element or stackframe element does make sense to show disassembly
instructions, but not the other elements.
Is this a known issue that the view doesn’t update
when selecting different elements in the debug view? Should I file a bugzilla
entry for this?
Regards,
Patrick
