Re: [cdt-dev] stepping synchronized with the source editor PC marker upd

["Alexiev, Dobrin" <dalexiev@xxxxxx>]

Initially I thought so, but the user experience is not exactly what I expected. 

If there are no opened additional views the experience is pretty good - I have the F5 key pressed down and the source editor updates - the PC is being updated - the user is seeing the PC is progressing. 

As far as I have few other (somewhat slower windows) registers, memory, variables - when I keep the F5 key pressed down, I don't see the PC indicator moving smoothly in the source editor with maximum speed. 

BTW, I don't want to delay the update to the other views, I just want to make sure when the user has the F5 key down he sees the PC indicator being updated.

Actually what you described is what DSF does by default: i.e. minimum 
step interval preference is 0, and wait to update views is unchecked.

However, we did not go as far as delaying updates to data views.  Such 
that the data views will request data from the debug engine upon a 
suspended event, but the run control commands will not wait for the 
views to finish updating.  For details look at SteppingController and 
its supporting cast.
