RE: [cdt-dev] Breakpoint marker question

["Mikhail Khodjaiants" <Mikhail.Khodjaiants@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Marc,

Breakpoint markers are used to persist the breakpoint attributes between
Eclipse sessions. Storing the current address for a function or a line
breakpoint is wrong because it can be different if the executable is
changed. The 'address' property is never used for line breakpoints (the
line and function breakpoint's addresses are retrieved from the
backend).
So the answer is No, they shouldn't. In fact, both 'function' and
'address' shouldn't have been added to cLineBreakpointMarker. But their
presence doesn't affect the implementation.

Cheers,
Mikhail

Subject: [cdt-dev] Breakpoint marker question

Hi,
 
I'm looking at the breakpoint markers in plugin.xml of
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core.

The hierarchy is like this with attributes in parens:

     lineBreakpointMarker         breakpointMarker    
                    \                     |   
                     \             cBreakpointMarker (condition,
ignoreCount, threadId, installCount, sourceHandle, bpType) 
                      \                   |     
                       commonCLineBreakpointMarker
                      /       |                    \
cFunctionBreakpointMarker     |                cLineBreakpointMarker
(function, address)
                              |
                      cAddressBreakpointMarker   

What is strange is that the two attribute 'function' and 'address' are
with cLineBreakpointMarker.
Shouldn't they be with commonCLineBreakpointMarker intead, so that
cAddressBreakpointMarker  and cFunctionBreakpointMarker would inherit
them?

Thanks

P.S. I haven't figured out if these attributes are important or not...
