Re: [cdt-dev] load and unload symbol file

["Chuong, Patrick" <pchuong@xxxxxx>]

Regarding the DSF element issue, yes I have the DSF element selected, but I have to reselect it again to make the button enable after it is pressed once. I am referring to the toolbar button in the workbench window (or the refresh button in the debug view). It disables the Variables view and Expressions view, etc... refresh button after pressing it once.


Filed these two bugs:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=324011 for ISymbolDataChangeDMEvent console command issue.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=324013 for Disassembly view refresh button issue.

Regards,
Patrick

That sounds good.  When the backend finds out that symbols
have been loaded they should issue that event.  For DSF-GDB,
we should do it when we realize we have parsed the command
loads/unloads symbols.

This is a DSF button, so you have to select a DSF element
in the debug view.

I believe so.
