| Re: [cdt-dev] Globals in Variables view |
|
CDT 8.2, 2 years ago. I always knew this feature needed more publicity but I don’t know how to go about it. I would like to see something directly in Eclipse to tell they user “Hey, did you know you can do this?” From: laskava@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:laskava@xxxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of Alena Laskavaia That is neat! When this was added? On Mon, Dec 1, 2014 at 10:37 AM, Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I personally don’t oppose the duplication. Be aware that if the user does not mind typing the global variables by hand, which will then avoid
performance issues, they can see everything in the expressions view by creating one _expression_ called ‘*’ (no quotes) to show all local vars. Then the expressions view will show all locals (sorted!) and whatever globals they want to see. They can even automatically
show all registers using ‘$*’. Please see info about “Enhanced Expressions”: https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ#What_are_Enhanced_Expressions.3F From:

On Behalf Of Alena Laskavaia I looked at the bug, there are two concerns there - usability (duplication of info from Expressions view) and performance. Performance - I am not sure why it would be concern, if users add this global in _expression_ view it would be the same. And extra query per variable. For initial getting vars list - yes it can be slow/hard to mark (if we just take CDI ui) but better then no ui at all. As for concern about duplication, I think current eclipse approach to have two views is not good for user - they want to watch some variables in one spot, how these variables populate automatically or user adds them should not be relevant for this use case On Mon, Dec 1, 2014 at 10:23 AM, Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Should not use https for those addresses apparently: See

On Behalf Of Marc Khouzam Yeah, this is one of the points that keeps coming up. See

On Behalf Of Alena Laskavaia After we switched to DSF our customers continuously complain that they cannot add global variables into that view anymore. If there a specific reason why it is not supported |
