Hi Dimitri,
When in manual refresh mode, the view itself does still repaint. It's
a design compromise, which allows the cache management logic to remain
more independent from the logic that generates viewer updates (i.e.
model deltas). I haven't tried to dissect the performance hit of this
behavior, because it still satisfies our requirements for the manual
mode. For our customers, what's important is that the IDE does not try
to fetch the debug data from the target, because the target could be
remote or the connection could be slow (e.g. serial interface). So in
comparison to fetching data from the target, repainting the view is
very fast.
If you find that repainting the view is an issue for your use cases,
please describe your use case and file a bug. Disabling the view
repaints would complicate the view update logic further, but it's not
impossible.
Cheers,
Pawel

Hi All,
I have the following question
regarding
several GUI elements redrawing when using Manual Update Policy.
Scenario:
I run a loop with breakpoint on
instruction
inside of the loop.
The breakpoint has Resume action
with
0 sec. pause time attached to it.
'Threads Update Policy' is set to
'Manual';
'Variables' view 'Update Policy' is set to 'Manual'.
Threads in Debug View and variables
in Variables View are not updated ('Manual' policy), BUT
- Debug View title is changed to
italics
and back periodically;
- Debug toolbar items (Resume,
Suspend,
Terminate etc.) are blinking;
- Variables View title is changed to
italics and back periodically;
Questions:
1. Could a redrawing of GUI elements
mentioned make a significant impact on run time of a loop mentioned?
2. I there a way to disable these
GUI
elements update?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Dmitri Pikus
