Interface IAddMemoryBlocksTarget

public interface IAddMemoryBlocksTarget

An adapter for an "add memory block" operation. The Memory View provides a retargettable "add memory block" action that debuggers may plug into by providing an adapter (see IAdaptable) of this type.

Clients may implement this interface.

Since:: 3.2

Method Summary

void addMemoryBlocks ( IWorkbenchPart part, ISelection selection)
          Perform an add memory block on the given element that is currently selected in the Debug view.

boolean canAddMemoryBlocks ( IWorkbenchPart part, ISelection selection)
          Returns whether an add memory block operation can be performed from the specified part and the given selection.

boolean supportsAddMemoryBlocks ( IWorkbenchPart part)
          Returns whether this target will support adding memory block from the specified part.

Method Detail

canAddMemoryBlocks

boolean canAddMemoryBlocks(
IWorkbenchPart part,
                           
ISelection selection)
                           throws

Parameters:: part - the part on which the action has been invoked; selection - the selection on which the action has been invoked
Throws:: CoreException - if unable to perform the action

supportsAddMemoryBlocks

boolean supportsAddMemoryBlocks(
IWorkbenchPart part)

Returns whether this target will support adding memory block from the specified part.

Parameters:: part -
Returns:: true if the target wants to support adding memory block from the given part, false otherwise.

addMemoryBlocks

void addMemoryBlocks(
IWorkbenchPart part,
                     
ISelection selection)
                     throws 
CoreException
