| [cdt-dev] overriding DsfSourceDisplayAdapter |
|
Hello, I’d like to override the behavior of the buttons in
the “pseudo editor” CSourceNotFoundEditor in our DSF debugger. I contributed a new editor type that derives from CSourceNotFoundEditor
and overrode few methods in it. So far so good. The problem I hit is DsfSourceDisplayAdapter is referencing
the contribution of CSourceNotFoundEditor via the constant ICDebugUIConstants.CSOURCENOTFOUND_EDITOR_ID. My first thought was to override parts of DsfSourceDisplayAdapter
that are referencing the constant but that proved impossible. I ended up copying the whole class DsfSourceDisplayAdapter
plus three more classes in the same package – total of 1500+ lines of
code. Does it make sense to introduce a protected method getSourceNotFoundEditorId()
inside DsfSourceDisplayAdapter so other debuggers can easily override the source
not found editor? I noticed that other DSF adapters as much better suited for overriding.
May be there is a better way to deliver this functionality? I noticed that the Executable View also is referencing the constant
ICDebugUIConstants.CSOURCENOTFOUND_EDITOR_ID. Since I am not altering the workflow if the not found file
is a translation unit, referencing the constant there is not an issue (yet). Regards Dobrin |
