Re: [cdt-dev] memory space DSF service 
        Hi John,

        We'd certainly be interested in helping standardize a service like this. We currently have a few not-so-pretty hacks in our code to handle multiple memory spaces so something like this would help clean things up quite a bit. Let us know if/when you create the bugzilla entry and we'll join the discussion there.

        Thanks,
        Glen

Subject: [cdt-dev] memory space DSF service

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.

John
