TCF 1.5 New & Noteworthy
TCF 1.5 is planned to release in June 2017 with Eclipse Oxygen.
TCF API and Protocol
All API Additions are marked with "@since 1.5" in the TCF Protocol Java Interfaces.
- IBreakpoints Service: Capability CrossTrigger added with related properties for cross-triggering support (see bug 499059).
The TCF Services Docs have been updated in some cases, but not all; if in doubt, the Java interfaces linked from above should be consulted as the API references. Documentation Bugs have been opened to get the services docs back in sync. Community contributions would be appreciated on this documentation effort.
The TCF Python Binding is mostly on par with the Java binding and actively being tested, maintained and improved. If in doubt regarding protocol API, the Java interfaces as linked from above should be consulted.
TCF Agent and C Value-Add
- Improved DWARF symbols search.
TCF C/C++ Debugger
- Improved Memory View: memory monitor base address can be dynamic expression, for example, a local variable name. The debugger re-computes the address when necessary, so memory monitor tracks location of the variable as it changes during application execution or across re-launch of the debug session.
Target Explorer
- Fixed broken references to icons no longer available with Eclipse 4.6 Neon and later (bug 497674
