Minutes included in italics

  • Welcome [All]
    • New attendee introductions
    • New committer introductions - Christian
  • Action items from previous meetings [All]
  • News
  • Marketing [Philip/Jonas]
    • Cross project activities of interest (permanent item)
    • Reach out to Amazon and other interested parties and make sure they know this group exists
  • CDT Cloud Update [Philip]
  • Component Updates
    • CDT Cloud Blueprint [Stefan]
    • Trace Compass Cloud [Matthew/Bernd]
      • Ericsson is taking a step back from TraceCompass open source contributions (a business decision)
      • TraceCompass current Committers/Project Leads are looking for people to help transition the project to to keep in running well
      • Many new features and improvements in recent weeks
        • Markers on callstacks
        • Pinning rows in the Theia extension
        • Density view to show latency, this is in Java TraceCompass front-end, API in place for Theia/VSCode front-end, but not visible in UI yet
        • New raw data provider
        • CTF parser has significant (10,000x) performance improvements in some corner cases
        • CTF2 integration currently broken as exact specification and what is written by LTTNG differ slightly. This is a new specification version for CTF
    • CDT GDB DAP Adapter and Amalgamator [Jonah]
      • New release of adapter in recent days that addresses usability issue and improves assembly debugging
      • Better handling of connect to running targets for cases where targets should not be stopped
      • Better handling / control of which threads stop to ensure that the "wrong" thread is not unnecessarily paused. This is extra important in machine control cases where stopping the wrong thread on a running system is extra problematic. In addition to improvements in the adapter, improvements in GDB are needed and being done
      • Amalgamator is not seeing much interest, without some new PRs/Issues soon the repo will be archived (it can be "un-archived" if needed)
      • If/when amalagamtor goes away, the memory view in the adapter extension can be removed in favour of the memory inspector

      • If someone in the community is actively interested, please reach out to Tobias to see if we can progress this area
    • Multicore Debug? Session-specific Breakpoint support in VS Code [Jens]
      • This has stalled on VSCode side, to progress this forward probably needs Theia or one of the other non-VSCode IDEs to implement and then return to Microsoft to get protocols and UI updated as needed, using the implemented versions as examples
    • Custom Disassembly View? [Rob/Jens] - https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/200880
  • AoB
  • Confirm next meeting
    • Dec 22, 2025
