Hi Denis,
I have worked on contributing the functionality you mentioned several
times over the last couple of years, the latest being the multi-context
group in DD. That effort is currently on hold we decided with
platform group that it was too big a workflow change to consider in 3.4
and I will try to get time to work on it for a future release. Still,
it would be very valuable if you could read the proposal that I started
and gave your feedback based on your use cases and experience with
multi-processor debugging.
What could be more useful to you in the short term is bug 145635,
which enables support for multiple instances of debugger views and
allows the user to "pin" a view to a current context. Wind River's
Eclipse based debugger (where the screen shot below came from) uses a
version of this patch to provide improved multi-processor debugging
support.
Cheers,
Pawel
P.S. I'm glad to hear that you're investigating using DSF for your
debugger,
I hope that the refactoring of APIs hasn't given you too much trouble.

Hello
everyone,
We (at ST) are developing a prototype of a GUI, based on Eclipse/DSF,
for debugging C/C++ programs that can address multiple processors.
Some views reflect the state of all processors (like the debug one),
but
some others (like the variables, expressions or registers view) can
reflect only one processor at a time.
Debug view lists all processors, each of them will have a particular
color (like in the attached image I got from the Eclipse web site while
ago).
I want to change the layout of some views (variables, expressions,
registers) in order to have a kind of coloring policy that will make
distinction between views that are tied to a processor or an other.
Here are my questions:
- For variables, expressions and registers views, is there already a
pin&clone feature that allow to tie a view to a particular context
?
(like it is in the console view with the "Display Selected Console" and
"Pin console" buttons.)
- Is there already a possibility to extend some views so that their
layout could be customizable (like using a specific color for a part of
this view) ?
If you answers is "no and no", how could we envisage to contribute to
such features ?
Thanks for your answers.
