Automatically dereference pointers in watch window

<< < (2/2)

KammutierSpule:
why this feature isn't already implemented?! :|

oBFusCATed:
Two reasons:
1. it is hard, because C::B uses the command line protocol of gdb and there is no direct way.
2. it will be slow, the same reason

You're welcome to give it a try, but make patch against the debuggers branch, not trunk.
There are lots of changes related to the watches in the branch.

Max:
I'm wondering why there are still two different version (trunk and debugger branch). It may be true the debbuger branch has bugs but it's better (much better) that the debuuger plugin (that  has bugs) used in the trunk. Moreover splitting the development is decreasing the number of people using (and so debugging) the new debugger interface. We are no longer in the early development stage.

IMHO obviously  :D

I don't know about bugs, probably you could report the ones you've found? :)

The development is not split, in fact no development  is done on the debugger plugin in trunk.
Also, as I've stated many times, there is a pending patch for review, then we will have a nightly and probably then a merge will happen...
