RE: [cdt-dev] Columns in the variables view
John,
 
It would be nice to allow the debugger implementers contribute their own column presentations and label providers. Currently we can only contribute one adapter per element - IColumnPresentationFactory for ICStackFrame and IElementLabelProvider for ICVariable. But it is possible to make it delegating, maybe for the next release.

Mikhail, "location" is an important column, too. I entered the following bug in 2005.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=118131

As for "Declared" vs "Actual" type column, it would be nice for the view to support that difference. In theory, the debugger could make the distinction by being RTTI-aware. This would be backend dependent, of course.

Hi,
 
Currently the list of columns for the Variables and Registers views is provided by the platform. To fix https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186981 we need to contribute a column presentation factory, so we can define our own list of columns. Default (Java) columns are: "Name", "Value", "Declared Type" and "Actual Type". The gdb/mi implementation displays the same type as declared and as actual. Does it make sense to keep it as it is now?
Personally, I would prefer to have only three columns: "Name", "Value" and "Type".
 
Thanks,
Mikhail Khodjaiants
