[cdt-dev] grouping of debug elements feature - design discussion

["Alexiev, Dobrin" <dalexiev@xxxxxx>]

As I keep developing the groping of debug elements feature in the debug view I am making designs decisions I should discuss with the DSF debug community.

 

I am looking for feedback on both the requirements and design approaches to see if I am on the right track and not missing something major.

 

The requirements and design considerations are outlined at: http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/MultiCoreDebugWorkingGroup/DebugElementsGrouping

 

Currently the latest version of the grouping patch is in: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336876

 

In order to play with the feature you need GDB 7.2 that supports both stop and non-stop mode.

After applying the latest patch you still need to set the environment variable GDB_DEBUG_VIEW_GROUPS to 1 in order to activate the feature.

 

You can also add your comments to the feature bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336876

 

Thanks

Dobrin
