CDT/Obsolete/MultiCoreDebugWorkingGroup
Contents
Introduction
This page documents the activities of CDT's Multi-Core Working Group. This group aims to bring together different people from the community to jointly work on developing multi-core debugging for CDT. The group was first proposed at the CDT Summit 2010 and the suggestion was well received.
Any one interested in helping in this effort is welcome to follow or join the group.
Conference calls
Conference calls are held on a regular basis to discuss progress, issues, features, tasks, etc.
Currently, we have conference calls every two weeks. The next call info is:
- Tuesday November 30th, 2010 at 11 a.m. Ottawa time
- Canada and US Toll Free - (877) 748-5444

Multi-Core Debugging
Although this effort covers the debugging of target with multiple cores, we use the term Multi-core debugging in much wider sense. Multi-core debugging is meant to describe the simultaneous debugging of multiple cores, processes, threads, or other objects which are represented in standard debugger views.
Features of current interest
The following is a list of features that are actively being worked on.
- Grouping of debug view elements
- DSF sees to have a limitation where it only accepts a single level of IContainerDMContext.
- Debug operations (step, resume) on groups
- Hiding of debug view elements
- User-selectable Debug View layouts
- Pin and Clone of debugging views
- Grid view
