Re: [cdt-dev] RE: [dsdp-dd-dev] Editor technology subgroup

Ewa,

This is more a presentation problem. A source line may have different disassemblies on different platforms. Suppose you have a source file opened in the editor window and you are running two debug sessions on two different targets simultaneously. Both sessions share the same source file. If you want to display disassembly in the same editor window, you have to listen to debug context and switch between different disassemblies when the debug context changes.

Mikhail,

I think that the idea was to genearate a read-only file for each debug
session. This file would be created using the object file and found
source files at the beginning of the debug session and it would be
destroyed at the end. The original source file would not actually be
modified.

Thanks,
Ewa.

There is at least one problem in Eclipse with having disassembly
embedded in
the editor. If you run two debug sessions using the same source file on
different platforms, the disassembly is different for each platform. So
your
editor has to react to context changes and insert the right disassembly.

My feedback on the editor experience while debugging:

The editor in our legacy tools lets you switch between source,
disassembly,
and mixed in the same view. People really like this and some
developers
would rapidly toggle between these as they stepped through code.

We also added the same functionality to our memory view so you could
pick
any address and view disassembly, mixed, or source. Of course the
latter
two
were only available if the address happened to have source
correspondence.
In both the editor and memory views the underlying implementation was
the
same.

If you wanted to edit the source while debugging the source file would
be
cloned. A static snapshot would be cached for use by the debugger and
the
original edited normally. I've wondered if the "local history"
mechanism
could be leveraged for this but have never looked into it. Of course
the
next time you rebuild the executable the cached version of the file is
tossed and the current one used again.

Our developers are used to this functionality and we will likely need
something similar in our new tools as well.

Thanks - Ken

Hi,

I propose starting a new thread for future communications about the
Debug Model since there's a technology subgroup in the DSDP-DD.  I
would
like to leave this thread for Editor enhancement/ideas/requests
focusing
on embedded development.

Thanks,
Ewa.
