Re: MI -var-create frame-addr specification



We were just discussing this last week or so in another thread...

Sorry for missing that.


Roughly speaking, the entire use of frame addresses in MI needs to be
destroyed.  A "frame identifier" should be completely opaque to the MI
client - something that it just receives from GDB, saves, and then
passes back to GDB when it needs to identify a particular frame.  IMO,
they should be treated as strings rather than numbers by the client.

Of course, this requires implementation, and no one has yet
volunteered.  But that's the Right Solution, I think.


I see. I won't expect a fix soon ;-)


Thanks,

Christophe.
