Description Jeremy Handcock 2003-11-19 15:19:04 EST

Description of problem:
This NPE showed up a few times when testing CDT debug.  This has to do
with the hover help stuff that pops up when you move your mouse over a
variable in the source file while debugging, and it displays the
current value of the variable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
snapshot-20031119-eclipse-2.1.1-3


How reproducible: Sometimes


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Debug a program using CDT debug
2. Try using the debug hover help capability
3.
  
Actual results: I get this printed out on the console where I started
eclipse, with nothing in the .log file:

... will investigate further and move the PR upstream.

Comment 1 Tom Tromey 2003-11-21 12:10:29 EST

Jeremy, I'm assigning these to you for triage, since you said
on the list you'd be looking at them.

Comment 2 Jeremy Handcock 2003-12-17 11:41:06 EST

I've been able to reproduce this both when running with libgcj and
with the IBM JVM.  Whenever I fire up a debug session and mouse-over
something I expect a hover-help box from, I am getting this exception.
 I'm looking at it now.

Comment 3 Jeremy Handcock 2004-01-07 14:48:47 EST

I found a fix for this in the upstream 1.2.1 branch (from Mikhail
Khodjaiants at QNX), so I checked in the patch here too.  Closing.

Comment 4 John Healy 2004-03-08 16:21:42 EST

Moving from RHEL/3/Eclipse to Red Hat Developer Suite product.
