Has there been a thread on how to extend Insight
to display app specific data?
The reason I ask is as more apps support Unicode
it is hard for the developers to see the text in strings
since the strings are no longer simple "char *".
The strings could be UTF-8, UTF-16, some kind
of C++ object, etc.
What provision is there for Insight users to extend
Insight to display an application specific item like
this?

Brian,
You should ask first if there are plans for GDB (gdb@sources.redhat.com) to
handle/display Unicode data. Insight, being the GDB GUI, will probably
follow with some way to access what GDB provides.

Is it possible to tell insight something like this:
* if c++, parse the type..
* see if it is, say, a certain standard library datatype.
* then draw a graphical representation of the data, or dump a textual
representation (say for the string<> type) into the watched var
Thanks,
