Description Ken Ryall CLA 2010-05-14 11:50:04 EDT 
As a developer I would like the EDC debugger to immediately show me the stack frame when stopped so I don't have to wait for it to calculate all the frames.

This problem is especially apparent when debugging ARM code where calculating the stack involves getting information from the symbol reader. If a frame up the stack is in an executable with a large unparsed symbol file there can be a significant delay (10 - 30 seconds) before the full list of frames appears.

Acceptance: the first frame should appear immediately and all debug operations should be available (ex. you should be able to terminate the debug session). The rest of the frames should be gathered asynchronously and updated when complete. If the user resumes or terminates then the frame update should cancel.

This bug was assigned and targeted at a now released milestone. As that milestone has now passed, the milestone field has been cleared. If this bug has been fixed, please set the milestone to the version it was fixed in and marked the bug as resolved.

(this is part of a batch change)

The Eclipse CDT EDC (https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/cdt-debug-edc) is now obsolete and has not had any active development since 2011. Therefore the still open bugs are being marked as wontfix.

The git repo for the project still exists for posterity at https://git.eclipse.org/c/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.edc.git/
