Debug Protocol Related

Low, medium, high are importance/usefulness. But they sometimes represent bang-for-the-buck as well where the effort could be high vs. relative usefulness. Some of there are here because there is new functionality in VSCode APIs

  • Low: Set Value in Watch Window
  • Medium: Support full disassembly using the new Debug Protocol perhaps.
    • Source with assembly
    • More than one function or a virtual diplay for the entire executable
  • Low: New memory window using MS Hex Editor
  • Low: Add registers to Variables Window
    • Chance to deprecate Registers window
    • Ability to setValue
    • IMPORTANT: View Registers for each thread/frame in the Stack Window. Currently only shows for one context whereas it should be tracking the current frame in the stack window
    • Con: Will lose the ability to highlight changed values

Other

  • High: WSL: First class support. This includes Docker, WSL and perhaps 'ssh'. VSCode and WSL seem to be maturing. Still not there but...there may be enough
  • Low: Live Debug: See if we can update program status without stopping the program. Not sure what will work and with which gdb-server
    • invasive method: program is periodically paused and updates provided -- it has the look of live but is invasive for sure
    • non-invasive (non-stop): Update without pausing the program. I should say minimally invasive.
