Description
Memory Inspector editors allow enabling a Variables column. A nice and useful feature but its enablement is completely unintuitive and undocumented. In other words, the column is eventually populated only if the VARIABLES view is visible and its nodes are expanded. Current implementation seems to intercept debug adapter message/responses that are related to variables retrieval and only populate the Variables column when such messages are intercepted.
From my experiments, I have never been able to see anything in the Variables column when using CPPDBG debug adapter. Whereas when using Cortex Debug, the behavior is as described above.
Requests:
Document the dependency of the Variables column from Memory Inspector editors. Make it clear that Variables column depends on the visibility/expanded state of the nodes from VARIABLES view.
When Variables column is enabled, make sure the Memory Inspector initiates requests for locals/globals/statics instead of relying on other entities (e.g. VARIABLES view) to make such requests and then simply track/intercept DAP messages.
