Debug
Multicore Visualizer View
CDT now includes a Multicore Visualizer View. This displays a graphical representation of the state of the current application. It allows one to click- and drag-select groups of processes/threads, and apply debugging commands to them directly from the visualizer. Selections made in the Visualizer View are reflected automatically in the Debug View, and vice versa. The Multicore Visualizer View is designed to scale to large numbers of cpus and cores-per-cpu on both current and future multicore hardware.
The Multicore Visualizer View is meant to serve as a high-level visual overview of the current application, and can be used in tandem with the Debug View, which provides more in-depth detail.
The Multicore Visualizer View is just one example of a visualizer based on the underlying Visualizer Framework plugin. This provides a pluggable, extensible platform for developing visual development tools of this kind.
This feature was completed on February 10th, 2012. For details see Bug 335027
Partitioning of large arrays
CDT now displays large arrays as collections of partitions.
This feature was completed on January 26th, 2012 as part of Bug 365541
Multi-select attach dialog
CDT now allows selecting more than one process to attach to in a single user operation. The bottom pane is used to see which processes have been selected. If multi-process debugging is not supported with your debug session (needs GDB >= 7.2 and NonStop enabled), only the first process will be attached to.
This feature was completed June 30th, 2011 as part of Bug 293679
Support for Fast Tracepoints
CDT now allows the user of fast tracepoints, as supported by GDB. Fast tracepoints use an instruction jump instead of a trap for efficiency. Fast tracepoint need a minimum of space to be inserted in the program and therefore, may fail to be set at certain locations. For fast tracepoints to work, a special library called the in-process agent (IPA), must be loaded in the inferior process. This library is built and distributed as an integral part of gdbserver. Please see the GDB documentation for more details.
The user can select between three tracepoint modes in the launch:
- Fast: Only use fast tracepoints. No tracepoint will be planted if a fast tracepoint cannot be used.
- Slow: Only use slow tracepoints.
- Automatic: Attempt to use fast tracepoints. If a fast tracepoint cannot be used, automatically use a slow tracepoint.

Pin the Call Hierarchy View
The Call Hierarchy View can now be pinned which enables the user to open multiple Call Hierarchy views at the same time.
This feature was completed November 12th, 2011 as part of Bug 342498
