Filtering Read-Only References in Search View
A new filtering option was added in the Search View:
Indexing
Labels as Values
CDT will now correctly parse and index code that use labels as values, a relatively common use of this is in jump tables.

Cloning of Visualizer view
CDT now supports the cloning of Visualizer views. A clone button was added to the Visualizer, that permits creating a new instance of the visualizer view. At the moment it can be used with the Multicore Visualizer filtering feature, to have different MV views show strategic subsets, of the current system being debugged. In the future, cloning his will be even more useful, in conjunction with the upcoming pinning feature.
Here we show the Multicore Visualizer with its new "clone" button:
Here we have a MV that has been cloned twice:
Finally we have the same MV views as the previous screenshot, but with a bit of customization of the visualizers - Load meters were enabled on the MV on the left, and filtering was enabled on the two MVs on the right, to show subsets of the current threads
This feature was completed August 14th, 2014 through Bug 436095.
