Hi Pawel,
I haven’t had a chance to look at
the disassembly editor and I am wondering how the editor handles some of these scenarios:
- What
does the editor show when there is no source info? Does it simply show the
entire address range where the user can scroll around and jump to
different location?
- Are
source lines and disassembly instructions interleave the way the DSF
disassembly view show or disassembly instructions are inserted in the
order of the source lines within a source a file?
- I
assume that if you enter disassembly mode in the editor for a source file,
the editor became readonly. Is this correct?
- If
multiple disassembly editors are open, is it possible to have the editors
to handle the two use cases I ask in my original email?
I see the values of having a disassembly
editor that insert disassembly instructions under source lines, as well as
having a disassembly view to be able to display instructions for the entire
address ranges. These are two different use cases and it depends on the
application the user is dealing with, I don’t have strong opinion whether
an editor is better than a view or a view is better that an editor. But if the
editor have all the features of the view, than I would use the editor, because
editor provides better source and disassembly interleave.
Regards,
Patrick

Disassembly View
IMO a better approach would be to present the
disassembly content in an editor. It's easier to manage multiple
instances of editors than views and it's a more natural place for disassembly
anyway. This is what Wind River does in
our product and in CDT you may be able to leverage Mikhail's work from a few
years ago to make it happen.
Cheers,
Pawel

Hi,
I would like to know whether it is possible to unlink
the Disassembly view from the Debug view. AFAIK, the Disassembly view follows
the selection of the Debug view. If unlink is current not supported, can this
be added?
If unlink can be done or will be support in the
future, can the Disassembly also have an option to re-evaluate the _expression_
when the target is suspended?
Thanks,
Patrick
