Also discussed here: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4163 > Was the design reviewed on the list? Not yet. Please post the ideas for > everybody to understand. > The suggestion is: Gobalizing Observers over the entire session. This means having a global list of observers which watch all procs/threads in the current session, and allowing the user to choose which ones are on/off. Changes would then be a customization of the observers. This means eliminating the metaphor that observers are added to procs/threads of course. It also has some performance implications. From the meeting: - By selecting which processes belong in a session the user has already declared which processes should be observed. - The user still has the option of filtering away unwanted observations, by adding a filter which specifies which executable (process?) he/she is interested in. The bug has been marked as waiting for feed back. Feel free to comment, object, or add to it :) Cheers, Sami Wagiaalla
