Hi,
This is nice!
In the Multicore Debug
Workgroup we've been discussing improving the breakpoint
support in CDT but had no one commit to it yet.
One aspect that I
think will be of interest in the near future is to provide breakpoints that are target-specific.
I agree. We've talked about this several times in the past and
there's been a few really nice ideas that have floated around. The
challenge would be to create something that would work across
different debugger implementations. Unfortunately the breakpoint
filtering implementation we have in our product is almost as bad as
CDTs so I don't think it would make sense to contribute it. But
we'd be happy to support the effort if someone else has time to look
at it.
Another important
feature is to be able to set breakpoint attributes _before_
actually planting the breakpoint.
Yes, I've mentioned this in one of the bugs I created:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=360280. We do have
this feature in our product and we'd look to contribute it here.
I'm mentioning this
because I'm hoping that any proposed UI changes will be a
step towards such goals so that we don't need to
drastically change the
UI again soon after.
:-) Agreed.

Thanks

HI
All,
At WindRiver we're finally looking at using CDT breakpoints in
our product, instead of a custom breakpoint model. To that end,
we'd like to make some improvements in CDT, which I added to the
project plan: http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/planning/Juno.
The only potentially controversial item is changing the
breakpoint properties dialog to a custom dialog that would allow
some extra UI fluff: bug
360295. So I'd like to know how the CDT community feels
about this change before proceeding. Specifically, is it
important to anyone that we use the standard properties dialog?
If not, then the exact UI changes can be worked out later.
Please post comments on the bug.
BTW, I believe we should be able to make all the improvements
without breaking API compatibility, although debuggers will have
to migrate in order to enable the features.
Cheers,
Pawel
