| RE: [cdt-debug-dev] Hardware breakpoint support in CDT |
|
I am not much worried about the UI patch since I can
add my own ruler actions according to our product requirement without needing
any modifications in the cdt debug ui plugins. But the real issue I am having
is with the CDT CDI model. I have defined a new breakpoint type, a new marker and
also added a new attribute to the marker say HARDWARE. I have added this new attribute
also to the attribute map of CLineBreakpoint as shown below HashMap attributes = new HashMap( 10 ); attributes.put(
IBreakpoint.ID, getPluginIdentifier()
); attributes.put(
IMarker.LINE_NUMBER, new Integer( lineNumber ) ); attributes.put(
IBreakpoint.ENABLED, Boolean.valueOf(
enabled ) ); attributes.put(
ICBreakpoint.IGNORE_COUNT, new Integer( ignoreCount ) ); attributes.put(
ICBreakpoint.CONDITION, condition ); attributes.put(
ICBreakpoint.SOURCE_HANDLE, sourceHandle ); attributes.put(
ICBreakpoint.HARDWARE,ICBreakpoint.HARDWARE, true ); new CHWLineBreakpoint( resource, attributes,
register ); But when CBreakpointManager processes this
CLineBreakpoint, it always call cdiTarget.setLineBreakpoint() passing type as ICDIBreakpoint.REGULAR.
It never passes on ICDIBreakpoint.HARWARE type to CDI target. Due to this
limitation of CBreakpointManager, hardware breakpoint support in the CDI model
is really not usable. If we can apply the CDI model patch then at least the hardware
breakpoint feature in CDI model becomes useful. Regards, Jiju -----Original Message----- I think this is too specific to change in general UI. You can use breakpoint extension mechanism to add more
attributes, such as hardware breakpoint flag. To create them you have to create your own UI because
current ui mechanism, such as double click on source like does
not allow to change attributes. To change this property you contribute
property page, from there you can implement a call that would re-set
breakpoint from software to hardware. Jiju George T. wrote: > > Hi All, > > We are developing an embedded
