Re: [cdt-dev] Memory monitors in CDT4.0.2
|
Also, given that this is 'enhanced' functionality, why make it the default in
the Dialog?
I somehow think I am not going to be the only one complaining about this. The
worst thing is that it is completely unannounced. Nothing in the 4.0.2 buglist
and nothing even in the bugzilla that you said the work was carried out in -
114528, so this had no chance for review (until I just upgraded and tried it out).
As a minimum, there should have been some way to control it.
I've just seen Ken's reply. Bugzilla'd as 211923

This and the watchpoint is just an extension of existing functionality.
Users have the same level of functionality as they did before, though
there is the new GUI to contend with. I'm not sure how it's a hazard. I
think it's pretty obvious a user can just enter an expression as they
have been doing all along.
There is no way to switch this off.

Well, this seems like a *bad idea* to introduce this in a bug fix
release.
When my users upgrade they are going to get a new dialog which is
completely irrelevant, and in fact irrelevant to (I hazard a guess)
99% of CDT users.
So, how do I switch it off?

That functionality was introduced in CDT 4.0. It only surfaced for
CDI back-ends that claimed to support memory spaces. In 4.0, the gdb
CDI client did not claim that support.
However, in 4.0.2, the debugger watchpoint support was improved. That
enhancement also included support for memory spaces. And during its
development, it was noticed that gdb has built-in support for two
memory spaces: code and data, and so at that point, we flipped on the
switch in the gdb client--i.e., it now says it supports memory
spaces, which is why you're seeing that dialog now.
The work in 4.0 was done under the bugzilla entry:

What happened to memory monitors in CDT4.0.2?
In 4.0.2 I now get a new dialog (snapshot attached) asking me to
either "Enter memory space and address" or "Enter Expression".
Where did this new functionality come from? Is it the sort of thing
that should have been introduced in a bug-fix release?
