What your dummy object returns as IAddressFactory or endianess, for example?

The project object is used as IResource associated with function breakpoints and watchpoints.

I've added code to the Zylin Embedded CDT plugin that implements a dummy IBinaryObject. It appears to work just fine. I can't see any evidence that CDT somehow misbehaves because it does not have this information. What functionality would should I be missing?

I've added code to the Zylin Embedded CDT that implements a dummy project object. It was a) not difficult b) seems to work very well.
Sure, the code is rough, but before I do any more work I'd like to get some feedback on my idea to add two interfaces that narrows down the interface between the debugger and the project and binary file.
Basically an object that supports these interfaces would be passed in to the debugger instead of the project and the IBinaryObject.
It would be trivial to implement a wrapper object(adapter?) that implemented this interface on top of a project and an IBinaryObject respectively.
Given how few methods that are actually used, evidently it should be easy to implement projectless/binary object file less debugging using these interfaces.
