[cdt-dev] API breaking change in org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

as part of the fix for

http://bugs.eclipse.org/304588 [variables][cdi] _expression_ service returns wrong number of children for complex structures

I've made an API-breaking change.  I've updated the webpage.

 

In MIVariableManager.MIVariableObject the method
   public int getNumChildren()
has been renamed to
   public int getNumChildrenHint()

Although it is a breaking change, I think it is important because the
method can return a value that is not correct.  The user must be made aware
that this is simply a 'hint'.

 

Anyone objects?

 

Thanks

 

Marc
