Re: [cdt-dev] Hierarchical Register Groups

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Shiva,

I don't think this is possible without modifying/extending RegisterVMProvider. As you have discovered register groups (most recently extended in 8.6 to allow users to manipulate the groups https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn86#Register_grouping) you are on your way to understanding the code. The vm provider (org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.debug.ui.viewmodel.register.RegisterVMProvider.configureLayout()) configures its layout, and as you can see in that code register groups can only be children of the root node.

HTH,

Jonah

Hi Jonah, team,

 

If I want to create register groups in hierarchical manner during launch of debug session than how can I make use of the field ‘parent_id’ from group’s memento ?

 

I have extended RegisterGroupPersistance class but the groups seems to be created only in serial manner, so do not understand what is use of field ‘parent_id’ which is container_id internally. Is there a restriction ?

 

I want to create structure like (where ‘R’ could have ‘Core Registers’ group as container and could be set as ‘parent_id’ ?):

 

 

Please guide if this is easily possible ?

 

Thanks & Best Regards,

Shiva Sharma..
