Re: [cdt-debug-dev] Fixing some Debug feature-parity bugs
|
Marc,
Grabbing the bull by the horns may be exactly what we need here.
You've thankfully taken the initiative to pull together the punch
list; now we just need people to dive in and help you tackle it. I've
gotten approval from management to commit some time to the cause.
I'll take the following four issues, and will begin after I'm done
with the DSF disassembly view work.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/248606 [menu][breakpoints][cdi] Add support
for toggling watchpoints in the variables and expressions views.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/248595 [breakpoints][cdi] - Add support
pending breakpoints introduced in GDB 6.8.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/249220 [signals][cdi] Add support for the Signals view.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/248627 [debug view] [cdi] Add an option to
show full paths for the stack frame source location.

Hi,
recent email discussions about the CDT's default debugger integration
has led to the fact that it would be nice to switch the default to
DSF-GDB for Helios, but that we need to get closer to feature-parity
with CDI-GDB.
We also agree that new debugging features are not going to be
done for CDI, so I think we need to start building momentum for DSF-GDB
so as to get more contributions and get the whole CDT debugging to continue
getting more new features. This will also benefit any DSF-based integration
as DSF will be given more attention.
So, let's take the bull by the horns and get some feature-parity bugs fixed.
The bugzilla list of 29 bugs is shown below, taken from http://bit.ly/avphMO
If we want to actually see some progress, we need people to reply to this mail
an agree to take care of some bugs, even if only a single one to start.
I'll get the ball rolling by committing to fix the following 7 bugs myself:
http://bugs.eclipse.org/242943 [breakpoints] [cdi] While GDB is
running, we cannot make breakpoint commands
http://bugs.eclipse.org/248610 [menu][memory][cdi] Add a menu action
to open memory view for a given variable.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/249162 [run control][cdi] Add support for
"Set PC to here" operation.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/249165 [run control][cdi] Add support for
"Resume at Line" action
http://bugs.eclipse.org/249169 [detail][cdi] Add support for
alternative expression evaluation in detail pane.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/219203 [variables][cdi] Variables view
should allow variables to be cast to a type.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/202354 [launch][cdi] Support Environment tab
in local launch
These as the other filled bugs about feature-parity that others
should look at:
http://bugs.eclipse.org/248587 [breakpoints][cdi] Support "Event' Breakpoints.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/248606 [menu][breakpoints][cdi] Add support
for toggling watchpoints in the variables and expressions views.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/248595 [breakpoints][cdi] - Add support
pending breakpoints introduced in GDB 6.8.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/231883 [console][cdi] Inferior does not
print to console when a PTY is not available
http://bugs.eclipse.org/159958 [symbols][cdi] Integrate symbols
service with CDT modules view.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/235747 [registers][cdi] Allow user to edit
the register groups.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/237560 [variables][cdi] Ehance variables
view for feature parity with CDT.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/248593 [launch][cdi] Add a JTAG-specific launch.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/249220 [signals][cdi] Add support for the
Signals view.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/249223 [signals][cdi] Add support for
"Resume without signal" action.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/274951 [cdi] Add Watch action to C/C++ Editor
http://bugs.eclipse.org/248627 [debug view] [cdi] Add an option to
show full paths for the stack frame source location.
I believe the ones below are not show-stoppers and therefore lower
priority, but not everyone may agree with this:
http://bugs.eclipse.org/264895 [console][cdi] Visible console should
match debug selection
http://bugs.eclipse.org/207582 [variables][expressions][cdi] In
views, chirldren of arrays should be grouped when more than 100
http://bugs.eclipse.org/219040 [variables][cdi] Variables view
should show globals (or should it?)
http://bugs.eclipse.org/219202 [variables][cdi] Variables view
should use icons to represent types.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/267209 [launch][cdi] Refresh project when
launch process terminates
http://bugs.eclipse.org/269101 [variables][cdi] In no-columns mode,
it's impossible to change the a variable's value.
http://bugs.eclipse.org/271795 [debug view] [cdi] Inferior should be
visible, and shown terminated in post mortem launch
http://bugs.eclipse.org/293832 [variables][cdi] wrong display of
variable values with GDB DSF
http://bugs.eclipse.org/300096 [expressions][run control][cdi] DSF
is missing certain debug actions from editor's context menu
http://bugs.eclipse.org/269927 [console] [cdi] Allow to save console to a file
Who's up for the challenge?
