Insight feature request

Insight feature request

[Jindrich Kubec]

Hi,

I just tried to use Insight, after few tries I succeded.

My problem is that I can't step thru code without symbols. Because it needs 
the function name and there is none in my code. I tried to hack it a bit, 
but I don't know tcl :-( so I ended up in forcing to create 200 lines of 
disassembly, but it remembers it incorrectly in the cache, so when I jump 
out of the 200 instructions range it doesn't refresh it.

Also creating breakpoints at absolute address needs the console.

Ah, I see you noticed that GDB/Insight is not "rom" friendly.

I've had cases where it has tried to disassemble from 100K bytes of
NO-OP instructions.... or other 'jibberish'

The source window is just that, something aimed at a 'source file'
which has a relatively small number of lines. 

It also has problems when you have a *HUGE* C file and load it from
disk.

A long time ago there was some discussion about a 'virtual window' to
make the asm mode work better but... alais this is not a simple thing.

I wonder if anybody has ever worked on this. I could sure use it.
