[cdt-dev] Memory view

[Antony Burton <aburton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
    I have two questions concerning the memory view:

1)  I would like to display memory in the memory view while my application is running. At the moment, memory values are only updated when I stop a thread. I would like to add a button that, when pressed, causes the memory view to be updated. Is there a problem for GDB to read memory when the program is running?

2) We have our own embedded debugger, so now I'm trying to write my own custom memory monitor. I followed the memory view example:

Inside the Memory View: A Guide for Debug Providers

The example works, but when I try to integrate it with our plugins and make my own memory monitor there is a problem: my custom getExtendedMemoryBlock() is not being called.

 In the example, the LaunchConfigurationDelegate just creates a new debug target as in:

public void launch(ILaunchConfiguration configuration, String mode,
            ILaunch launch, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws CoreException {
        IDebugTarget target = new SampleDebugTarget(launch);
        launch.addDebugTarget(target);

    }

I do the same thing at the beginning of my LaunchConfigurationDelegate but before, I call super.launch(config, mode, launch, monitor) to connect to my target...

Could someone tell me how to get my extended memory monitor to display? Once I can get it working , I can add a button to update the view on the fly.

Thanks in advance,

Antony
