Re: [cdt-debug-dev] ICDISourceManagement getInstructions and getMixedInstructions 
Jerome,
Contributions are always welcome. The best way to contribute code is to create a Bugzilla entry and attach a patch. Regarding your proposals, we have been thinking to add similar features to the CDT. There are proposals for ICDIModuleManagement (former ICDISharedLibraryManagement) which include methods to get the symbol's address and the symbol at the given address. So, it would be interesting to compare your suggestions and ours.

Dear All,

I am developping a plug-in for Disassembly View with following features:
   - Switch to display disassembly without interleaved C.
   - Go directly to a specific address in the assembly code. Address
may be a number (hexadecimal, decimal, or octal) or a symbol name.
   - Retrieve the disassembly at the current program counter.
   - Sliding by next/prev page.

I intend to retrofit this plugin to the community if someone is
interested and if it is possible. An alpha version is available
(Eclipse3.1, CDT 3.0.0).

To develop this plug-in, I modified some CDT source files. In
particular, I need the following methods in ICDISourceManagement class
(needed for "goto symbol name"):
   ICDIInstruction[] getInstructions(String startAddress, String
endAddress)
   ICDIInstruction[] getMixedInstructions(String startAddress, String
endAddress)

Is it possible to add these methods in CDT ? How to ask for other CDT
sources modifications ?
How to retrofit my modified sources to the community ?
Is it possible to be implied in the development of this feature for CDT
3.1 ?

Regards,

the CDT conference.
There are Bugzilla requests for the features you mentioned and we will
consider them for 3.1.

Thanks Mikhail.
Do you anything about the timeline of this development?

Probably the one that I am most interested is virtual scrolling of
disassembly view past the border of the current stack frame function.
It is similar user interaction to the memory window. Many IDEs have it.

Also what about having multiple views of the disassembly view?

Regards
Dobrin

Dobrin,

The "setSourcePaths" method is also used by the implementation. I
believe we
will deprecate the "getInstructions" and "getMixedInstructions" methods
without limiting line number.
Regarding the remaining methods, you can ignore them for now. But there
are
many requests to add new features to the Disassembly view and the Source


lookup, so it is possible that we will use these methods in the future.

Mikhail

getMixedInstructions




I am implementing a CDT debugger using the CDI interface.

I noticed that out of 5 functions for getting the disassembly
instructions in the ICDISourceManagement interface only two are
referenced in the CDT code -

getMixedInstructions( String filename,int linenum,int lines)

getInstructions(BigInteger startAddress, BigInteger endAddress)



If my observation is correct (I may be missing projects in my


workspace)


I was wondering are there any plans to hook up these functions in


future


versions of CDT or they are obsolete functions and I don't have to
implement them.



Thanks a lot
