Re: [cdt-dev] DebugUI Variables View context menu
|
This is on my list, hopefully I can get the patch submitted next week.
FYI the patch adds a new MI command which lists global variables per
object file - this is to avoid the time-consuming process of
outputting the contents of the symbol table for the entire process.
The intention therefore is that CDT will have a corresponding
interface where users can view/select global variables per object
file, probably in something like the 'Modules' view.
