In e.g. mrc/mcr we have an upcast happening, which can fail. If it was a method on the target, then there would be a more natural place to place the check for whether that method is supported. Another byproduct/non-sequitor for mdw specifically is that the mdw command is for humans(telnet ui) and the mdw method on the target would be a tcl method that return an array. So I'm thinking that methods on the target would be for tcl callers and the commands that operate on the currently active target would be for the telnet ui. > The fact that you sometimes don't get a response could mean that nobody > understood what you were talking about.

I'm also waiting for David to finish up his first round of fixing the type problems. -- Øyvind Harboe http://www.zylin.com/zy1000.html ARM7 ARM9 ARM11 XScale Cortex JTAG debugger and flash programmer _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
