Hi,

Yes...you're definitely right that context switching will be a challenge
here.

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.
