Graphical debuggers usually provide a view of the CPU Register contents. This is an useful feature to have, particularly when used in conjunction with the disassembly view. It would be interesting if kdevelop would provide such view in debugging mode through a new tool view.
I think that would be a nice addition to Kdevelop as well!
Thanks for bringing it up! I'm already working on it.
That's great to hear Vlas! Since CMake enables easier cross-compilation and it is so well integrated into kdevelop I also use it for debugging software on ARM processors too, but it is really annoying having to type on gdb command line when we could have the registers at view all the time on the IDE. Does your plugin or extension to show the CPU registers parse GDB output so it gets the registers content for any platform being debugged or is it x86 specific?
I think I can add support of ARM registers too (at least r0-r15, maybe even cpsr and s0-s31).
