Re: [cdt-dev] DSF/GDB: How can I refresh the debug context?

A refreshEvent was discussed but I felt it was too generic an event.  Normally, you would create a new event or events, and would update the VM node.  But I realize it is a lot of work and it would be much nicer to simply issue an event that will refresh the views.
 
Maybe someone more knowledgeable about the VM nodes can give their input?   Pawel maybe :-)
 
I've done something not as cleanly as I should have for tracepoint visualiztion that you can look at, which
refreshes the Debug view on an couple of Trace events.  Look at LaunchVMProvider and event
ITracingStartedDMEvent.  It does not use the deltas but simply refreshes the view.  I would like
to clean that up in the next release though.
 
You can also look at MITracepointSelectedEvent which pretends to be a breakpointHitEvent to trigger
a SuspendedEvent and refresh the views.

Thank you, Marc.  I tried a SuspendedEvent (similar to ContainerSuspendedEvent) and it did not work.  It would be nice to have a RefreshEvent, although I can certainly see arguments against it.  I’ll have to play with this a bit to see how the event is interpreted by the various handlers so I can figure out what they’re expecting.

 

Unless, of course, this is documented somewhere… although I suspect the documentation is the code itself.

 

Thanks again,

The success of your monitor command should trigger a DSF event that the view should listen for.

When getting that event, they will then need to trigger the correct delta.

You can look at how we handle ISuspendedDMEvent for example.

 

I hope this helps

Subject: [cdt-dev] DSF/GDB: How can I refresh the debug context?

I’ve got a custom “monitor” command for our stub that causes a fundamental change to the target system (similar to what would happen if you reset the target or encountered an interrupt/exception).  If the debug session is paused/suspended (e.g. after a Single Step) and I send this command, the target behaves correctly.  However, I have to Single Step to get the windows (registers, disassembly, etc.) to update.

 

Is there a way to programmatically force a refresh/update of the debug context?  I’ve beat my head against this for a while; I’m hoping that someone on here might already have the answer.

 

Thanks,
