Subject: [cdt-dev] Extending number formats in DSF Variable views

Hello,

 

I was planning on extending the number formats available in Variable, _expression_, and Register views to add a set of custom formats.  However, the number formats seem to be hardcoded and are not extensible. 

 

 

 

The number formats are specified under org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.debug.ui.viewmodel.numberformat.NumberFormatsContribution.  They’re declared in a constant linked list:

static {

        FORMATS.add(IFormattedValues.NATURAL_FORMAT);

        FORMATS.add(IFormattedValues.HEX_FORMAT);

        FORMATS.add(IFormattedValues.DECIMAL_FORMAT);

        FORMATS.add(IFormattedValues.OCTAL_FORMAT);

        FORMATS.add(IFormattedValues.BINARY_FORMAT);

        FORMATS.add(IFormattedValues.STRING_FORMAT);

}

 

Please let me know your thoughts.  If my assumptions are correct, I can start working on a patch to enable extending DSF’s number formats.

 

Thanks,

 Navid
