Better stack view

Open xusheng6 opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

Currently, the stack view just dumps the value of integers on the stack. A better opportunity is to present is as a linear view, where we can mark up variables and structures on the stack.

We plan to improve the existing Stack sidebar to reflect the debugee status

This may no longer be needed since we have resolved https://github.com/Vector35/debugger_native/issues/72. However, I am leaving this issue open to allow future judgement on it. I will remove this issue from the 3.1 milestone, though.

While testing the debugger, I find the traditional stack view is still useful when looking at the function call parameters.

I would really like to have a stack view similar to IDA's:

(Ideally as a sidebar widget I think.)

This has been invaluable while debugging crashes in virtualized code. Not having something like this readily available in BN is somewhat crippling for that use case.
