RE: [dsdp-dd-dev] Question on Breakpoints

Hi Veenu,

 

I'm the lead of the Breakpoints View subgroup.

 

It sounds like you have a feature request of global address breakpoints to add to the http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/DSDP/DD/BreakpointsView page.  Is that correct?

 

Thanks,

Ewa.

Hi Veenu,
Yes you are correct that one of the goals of DSDP-DD is to coordinate such extensions.  I should have pointed you to the discussion page on the topic: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/DSDP/DD/BreakpointsView.
There is also a separate bug that was created to pull together breakpoint-related proposals: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=152624.

What I was trying to emphasize in my last message, is that these breakpoint proposals are not specific to DSF, which is what I'm focused on right now.

Cheers
Pawel

But somewhere you have also talked about providing breakpoint capabilities in DSF like Hardware bp etc
Which means that you also need an extension point to define a breakpoint type.
Isn't your requirement the same ? Or may be I am reading too much here.

Yes, You have understood correctly.

I  read the following as one of the goals of DSDP-DD project.
"Discuss and propose API and extension point changes and modifications"
So I thought though the extension point is needed to be exposed in CDT framework but DSDP will be the influencing force. :)

Anyways, If that's the case then I can ask at the CDT forum.

Thanx for your replies
Veenu
