Design Notes

Breakpoint Properties Dialog

The breakpoint properties dialog design directly affects three of the planned bugs:

  • bug 360291 - Allow user to edit line breakpoint file in properties dialog
  • bug 360295 - Customize property dialog for editing breakpoints
  • bug 360588 - Allow user to edit all its properties prior to creating the breakpoint [DONE]

The data flow in the breakpoint properties dialog is illustrated in the following diagram. Below it is a comparison diagram from the Wind River product. CDT Breakpoint Properties Dialog - Overview
