Description
Disassembly view updates the data only when the range of instruction changes, this leads to a problem when the instructions are available after one step or setting breakpoint on next instruction and resuming until it.
Example steps to reproduce:
- Make sure there is some error or instructions are not available for the current range (e.g. 1-20)
- Add a breakpoint on next instruction (e.g. 2nd if pc was on 1, make sure the 2nd instruction gets executed without any jumps)
- When the breakpoint gets hit on 2nd instruction the Disassembly view still shows error, refreshing the view fetches the disassembly correctly
One of the solution I could think of was: The current TCF implementation delegates the call to DisassemblyPart for resume/suspend events, we need a mechanism to know if there was an error in the range of instructions shown in view and then with run control events the view refresh should be forced if there was an error.
