Re: [cdt-debug-dev] About working with memory in debugger

["Igor S Zamjatin" <isz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Thanks, Thomas! 

I just wanted to ask what command of GDB/MI or CLI would use CDT Debugger in order to change memory in specified address. Be exactly - what command CDT Debugger  will send to gdb when I would want to change memory?


 Thanks again,

Igor,

  Not exactly sure what you mean you can't find any mention
of undocumented commands, but what I was saying about gdb last
time I just verified.  You can set any memory address by:

(gdb) c
Continuing.
Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x8047af4) at /home/thomasf/cvs/utils/f/fdisk/fdisk.c:213
warning: Source file is more recent than executable.
213             disk = NULL;
(gdb) p argc
$1 = 1
(gdb) p &argc
$2 = (int *) 0x8047adc
(gdb) set *(int *)0x8047adc = 12
(gdb) p argc
$3 = 12
(gdb)


so all you need to do is construct the right address to pass
to the memory "set" MI command.

As far as the work in the IDE with respect to the memory view,
you just need to look at the checkins that Mikhail Khodjaiants
has been making.  Specificially the Java code is at:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.cdt.debug.ui/src/org/eclipse/cdt/debug/internal/ui/views/memory/?cvsroot=Tools_Project

Does this help in any way?

Thanks, 
 Thomas
