Re: [cdt-dev] Customizing debug hierarchy and LaunchVMAdapter

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is exactly what I was hoping to figure out.  I've posted an example that extends DSF-GDB.
This is how I got things to work, but this is my first try at actually extending it.
http://eclip.se/441277

I also had a lot of trouble extending GdbAdapterFactory.

I was hoping others could provide feedback on what Vladimir is describing below to see
if there is a better way as of now.

>From what I tried, we are good at extending the DSF services and handling GDB versions,
but we need to improve on allowing extension of the view model.

Vladimir seems to have experienced the same results.

Anyone else?
