[cdt-dev] memory space DSF service

[John Cortell <rat042@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wanted to poll the CDT debugger community to see whether others 
have a need for a DSF service that provides information on a memory 
space. In 7.0, I added to DSF the ability to gather the available 
spaces from a memory context (see IMemorySpaceDMContext). Currently, 
this is used by the memory views.

In our commercial product, we need to go further and get information 
on a space, e.g., is it code or data, what's its range, what is the 
addressable size of the memory. Now, there are no features currently 
in CDT that would use such a service, but I suspect many of you are 
dealing with targets that have memory spaces and either have 
home-grown variants or will eventually need such a service. Please 
speak up if so. If there's enough interest, I'll open a bugzilla 
report to add the interface and we can hammer out the specifics there.
