[cdt-dev] Value of pointer not updated after allocation.

[Sai Krishna Tati Pati <ksai@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

Recently I faced a problem where, the value of a pointer declared using typedef was not getting updated in the Variable View.

 

Int my_var=10;

typedef int *p_test_t;

p_test_t = &my_var;

 

After some googling, I found this bug -> https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=399494#c9

 

Now, it is mentioned in the link that, the side effects of removing isModifiable() is not known. Using the patch, solves the problem, but it makes every single entity inside a complex type update - able. This is a concern if the complex type is a struct with a million arrays, then, the variable view takes forever to load.

 

Is there a way to study the side effects and provide a more elegant solution to the bug?

 

Thanks.
