[cdt-dev] Debugging Text Hover in CDT.

["Birje, Anita (STSD)" <anita.birje@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to investigate how hover works in CDT debug mode. 

When I hover over struct variable it gives field details as follows
	currentdate = {day = 10, month = 11, year = 2005}

Whereas hovering over the struct fields, doesn't display its value.
	Message displayed at console is : 'No symbol "day" in current
context'.

I went through the CDT code, the "DebugTextHover.java" takes only the
"fieldname" and not the "structure_variable.fieldname" to get the value.
(offset and length passed might be incorrect)
	For Eg: Line No. 64 -> String expression = document.get(
hoverRegion.getOffset(), hoverRegion.getLength() );
This returns "day" instead it should have been "currentdate.day".

Is this an expected behaviour,a known issue or an unknown bug. Please
help!

Thanks & Regards,

P.S. The program used for testing this functionality:

//**********************************************************************
*****************
struct	date	
	{	
		int	day;	
		int	month;	
		int	year;	
	};

#include <stdio.h>	
int main()
{
struct date currentdate = {10,11,2005};
	
cout<<"\n\nPrinting day : "<<currentdate.day<<endl
<<"Printing month : "<<currentdate.month<<endl
<<"Printing year : "<<currentdate.year<<endl<<endl;

return 0;
}
