[cdt-dev] Memory Browser


CDT folks,

Access to target memory is a necessary feature for our users. We've been deploying the platform Memory View ever since we contributed the Traditional memory rendering. The combination provides a functional memory view, but the experience is far from ideal for embedded development. In the 90% case, I don't want to consider memory blocks, renderings, split panes, pin or synchronized scrolling. I just want to browse memory with minimal clicks. In reviewing some of the bugs I've filed against the platform Memory View (214956, 214964, 214963, 215432, 244822, 257838, 257840, 257843, 257845) I've begun to speculate that there might be room for another view. I've authored a prototype of what I call the "Memory Browser". It's a lightweight (fewer than 700 line) memory rendering container with streamlined user interface design.

I'm wondering whether others in the community might find this view useful. Is it something we could maintain and enhance under CDT?
