Show Variable Location in View

Show Variable Location in View In the EDC debugger we would like to have a column in the Variables View that shows the location of the variable. DSF comes close to supporting this now but the “Address” column is only helpful if the variable is located in memory.

We can go create a new column just for EDC or we could do something for DSF with a new interface that would turn this into a “Location” column that would handle register based variables as well.

Thanks for your feedback,

- Ken

A single location column that supports both register and memory based
variables seems better than an additional column. Furthermore, I
don't see much of a point to added complexity to optionally
supporting an address-only version of the column. Is there any C/C++
environment, embedded or otherwise, that never puts variables in registers?

I agree, I should have also said that I would prefer to rework the DSF
Address column into a more general Location column.

IExpressionDMData already has a getRegister() method, Unfortunately. it never advanced beyond being a place holder.
