Description Ling Wang CLA 2007-02-06 17:40:59 EST 
Build ID: 3.2.1

Steps To Reproduce:
n/a


More information:
There is a case in our debugger that a CDebugTarget has no binary file associated with it, namely we just want to do pure assembly level debug without any source code view. 
But with a null binary file, CDebugTarget.getAddressFactory() would return a null AddressFactory which would cause exception in debugger. 
My solution is to ask CDI plugin to provide a default address factory.
And after discussing it in the cdt-debug-dev newsgroup, John and Mikhail approved the idea.
Attached is my patch.
