Re: [cdt-dev] Per-element number formatting "save on exit" behaviour

[John Dallaway <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the record, the issue with "save on exit" is related to the new
persistence mechanism in the e4 platform. The example code from bug
202556 works fine with Eclipse platform 3.8.1.

I am working on an implementation of per-element number formatting for
the DSF-GDB debug views based on the PDA example code provided at:

    http://bugs.eclipse.org/202556

I have this working for the Registers view under Juno SR1 with one
issue. The per-element formats are saved only if the view is explicitly
closed by the user. If I exit Eclipse without first closing the view,
the view's partDeactivated() method is not called and there appears to
be no other reference to the view's saveViewerState() method.

Can anyone explain how "save on exit" is intended to work?
