[tcf-dev] Expression Working Sets (was: Preparing M6)

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pawel,

 

Thanks for the information.

 

I had seen the comments about Grouping, but was not aware that it had been backed out entirely, and I’m very surprised to hear that.

I had thought that only the Pin&Clone was taken back.

 

Hadn’t the Java devs also found the feature useful ?

Did you find any stability or usability issues, or any regression ?

 

Thanks,

Martin

Hi Martin. 

We decided to back out _expression_ working sets after initial test pass with m6 candidate.  Abeer who contributed the initial patch is also looking at using _expression_ groups implemented in cdt as an alternative. See bug comments for details. 

Cheers

Pawel

Hi all,

 

Kepler M6 is coming up (Platform will freeze tomorrow, TCF as a +1 project on Monday March/18).

 

This will be our EclipseCon milestone. I plan to be doing some demos at the conference, and some people will want to download and try TCF after that; thus robustness of the code is important at this point, for increasing TCF community and adoption.

 

So I’d appreciate if you guys could do an extra test pass – especially on top of Platform Kepler and CDT 8.2/master – to make sure TCF is robust and solid on Monday. Please do especially look at any workflows that are enabled in plain Open Source – by order of priority, most important first :

 

-          TCF Linux native debug on localhost

-          TCF Linux ptrace remote debug, with connection setup + attach through Target Explorer

-          TE Terminals

-          Gdb remote launch and attach through Target Explorer

-          TCF RSE Integration (I could see this obsolete soon since we have Target Explorer).

 

Please do especially look at the new “Working Sets for _expression_ View” feature:

    https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=372181

This has been merged into Platform M6 (any recent I-build), and Pawel implemented a small add-on to the CDT to enable dynamic tracking of working sets with the selected stack frame. I’d like to know whether that works on TCF Debug too (hopefully yes!).

 

At any rate, please refrain from any risky commits these couple days; use your time for test and fix as you can.

 

It’s going to be important and will hopefully pay back manifold.

 

Thanks !

 

Martin
