Re: [cdt-dev] When will CRegisterManager.addRegisterGroup( IRegisterGroup group ) be implemented?
Title: Message
Hi Dan,
 
The support for register groups is not planned for CDT 2.0. But there are people and companies that are interested in it. I have had discussions with Dobrin Alexiev (TI) and we decided that he would provide the requirements. I'm cc'ing this mail to him, maybe he can update us on the status.
Regarding the bug you mentioned, it has been fixed.

Subject: [cdt-dev] When will CRegisterManager.addRegisterGroup( IRegisterGroup group ) be implemented?

Hi all,
 
I am a software engineer with Cisco Systems in Ottawa (just started a few weeks ago), and am working on implementing an in-house IDE for our proprietary hardware/chips.  I'm pretty new to Eclipse and CDT, but am amazed at what I've seen so far.  Kudos to everyone involved!
 
As a little background info on me, I had to implement a full-featured IDE for another company (Silicon Access Networks) without the benefit of Eclipse.  We were a team of two, and managed to implement everything in Java (resource management, source editor, debugging, breakpoints, watchpoints, etc) in about 3 years.  The company has since folded, but I'm finding myself right at home with Eclipse and CDT.  I'm very impressed with your work.  Had I known it was available back then... *sigh*.
 
Now for my question:  I noticed that the method..
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.internal.core.CRegisterManager.addRegisterGroup( IRegisterGroup group );
..currently does nothing, and the List fRegisterGroups is private.  Are there plans to implement this method in the near future?  Otherwise, is there a simple way around this?  I'm trying to add a custom register group, similar to what Tensilica has done in their Xtensa project.
 
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
-Dan.
 
PS: I also noticed that the register view is still broken as reported in http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg02435.html.  Has there been any progress?  I'm getting around this temporarily by doing a removeAllRegisterGroups() in my initializeRegisters() override of my extension to CDebugTarget.
