Re: [cdt-dev] Question on future debugger interface

[normankyee <normankyee@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm in the same situation as the Frysk team.  I have a C/C++ debugger library
that I would like to integrate into Eclipse CDT.  I've been looking at TCF
which has been recommended on this thread.  The TCF reference implementation
is missing features like source-level debugging, disassembly, and memory
views.  Did you add those features yourself?  Anyone know if there are any
plans to add those features to the reference implementation and if there is
a roadmap for it?  Thanks!
