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.

Refactoring

Header File Rename

Renaming or moving a header file now updates include statements in other header and source files and include guards in the header file itself.

Cloning of Visualizer view

CDT now supports the cloning of Visualizer views. A clone button was added to the Visualizer, which permits creating new instances 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, such cloning 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 through Bug 436095.
