Description Jens Elmenthaler

2010-09-09 06:49:36 EDT

Build Identifier: CDT HEAD

This feature requires the ability on gdb side to evaluate the full
expression for the associated varobj. The gdb can't do that for varobjs that
have a dynamic ancestor. Thus we should (ideally) disable it for such
expressions.

(Note that it still works for a dynamic varobj that doesn't have a
dynamic ancestor).

Background:
View memory: this one is handled in DSF:
org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.debug.internal.ui.viewmodel.actions.DsfViewMemoryHandler.

Reproducible: Always
