[cdt-dev] FW: [Bug 357440] Missing register tool-tips and opcode display

["Tepavich, Scott" <scott.tepavich@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Toni -

I have a patch to address these items, for work I was doing based on CDT 9.

For the DSF and TCF backends, it could be much more efficient if we just added an IDisassemblyBackend.evaluateRegister() method.  If this is okay, I can post the patch for review...

Thanks again -
Scott

By coincidence this has been requested recently in bug 357270.

This should already be possible by implementing
IDisassemblyBackend.evaluateExpression(String() such that it can detect whether an expression denotes a register or simply by trying register evaluation as a fallback. 

/**
 * Evaluate an expression for text hover
 *
 * @param expression
 *            the expression to be evaluated
 * @return the result, or "" if it doesn't resolve, for whatever reason  */ String evaluateExpression(String expression);
