Re: [platform-debug-dev] Editor Decorations

[Mary Kroening <mary@xxxxxxxx>]

A little example on how to provide the icon and set the foreground and
background colors for the correct line would be very handy to those of us
who are still learning. Also who takes care of unselecting and
unrevealing (i.e. deleting the icon and restoring the colors)?

This avoids special editor inputs/duplicate editors open, etc. The debugger will consult the editor presentation to determine if a line should be "selected and revealed" by the debugger (in the case of an ITextEditor). This allows the editor presentation to take care of the job if it wants to.

To do so,  a model presentation simply implements IDebugEditorPresentation, which provides an instruction pointer image for a stack frame. The change has been implemented in a non-breaking fashion, such that model presentations do not have to implement the new interface. We will likely add more methods to this new interface (IDebugEditorPresentation) to support other editor decorations during the 3.0 development cycle.
