Hi!

The current register view is somewhat clunky for debugging of inline asm. the tree view structure makes it hard to get an overview of the state of all registers at each step. 

visual studio provides a flat view of register states (somewhat like a non-scrolling console view), and highlights in red the registers that changed since the last step. we can also select the group of registers that are displayed, such as mmx, sse, stardard, etc.

example:

----------------------------------
EAX = 003110D8      EBX = 003110D8
EDX = 003110D8      EDX = 003110D8

MM0 = 02034
MM1 = ....
[..]

XMM0 = 030230423...
XMM1 = ....
XMM2 = ....
[...]
----------------------------------

The VS view could be added to the current tree view and the display could be set as an option. This would make the register window much more powerful and convenient.

i believe this view would be nice combined with the actual register view, and greatly enhance c++ development.

thanks!
