Hi All,
We are developing an embedded debugger based on Eclipse and CDT. I am trying to add hardware breakpoints support. When I checked CDT CDI model, I could see that ICDIBreakpoint interface already supports hardware breakpoints. But CDT core classes like CBreakpoint , CBreakpointManager , CDIDebugModel etc and UI does not provide any mechanism to create an ICDIBreakpoint of type ICDIBreakpoint.HARDWARE.
When I searched CDT news groups and bugzilla, I came across below enhancement request to add hardware breakpoint support to CDT CDI model and UI.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=118100
Patches to add hardware breakpoint support in UI and model are available in the above. Any idea on why this enhancement is on hold? Is it because decision on a better UI for adding Toggle Hardware breakpoints has not yet taken? If so then is there any possibility of committing the CDI model related changes and leaving UI decision to users? This will allow vendors to decide on the UI for hardware breakpoint and use CDT plugins without applying any local patches for adding hardware breakpoint support to CDI model.
Thanks,
Jiju George
