[cdt-dev] RE: generic refresh event in DSF

Hi Dobrin,
 
I have a similar use case for Tracepoints.  When looking at a new tracepoints, the different views must refresh. It is not a ISuspended event though.
The approach I took was to create a new event for this case.  It is IGDBTraceControl.ITraceRecordSelectedChangedDMEvent, which is in HEAD, but
not used yet.  I will be implementing it usage soon though.
 
Pawel might have a better answer, but I would suggest implementing an event for your situation and having the different classes extending
AbstractDMVMProvider, listen for that event and take action.  Most of these classes implement ICachingVMProvider.refresh() which causes
the view to refresh completely.  This may be a little drastic though, and you may want an more intelligent update when your event is
received.
 
You can also look at DefaultRefreshAllTarget, which causes all views to refresh (not that some views don't support this yet, like the memory view)

Subject: [cdt-dev] generic refresh event in DSF

Hello,

 

I was wandering if there is a generic DSF event that I can fire to trigger updates in all debug views - registers, variables, expressions, memory, debug, etc.

I think that ISuspendedDMEvent triggers all view updates but that is related to changing the state of the target from running to suspended. In my case the target running state is unchanged.

 

Our debugger back end has more states than just running and suspended and I’d like to trigger updates in all views for any of these state transitions.

The target may or may not have a stack in these states.

 

Does anyone else have these use cases in their debuggers?

Does it make sense to introduce such an event?

 

Thanks

Dobrin
