Benefits of Contributing Default Configurations

Oct 13, 2025 by wbrum.org 132 views

Introduction

The Memory Inspector, a powerful tool for debugging and analyzing memory usage, comes with a set of default settings that may not be tailored to specific use cases. However, it provides an extension API that allows other extensions to provide more use case-specific settings. This feature request proposes contributing default configurations to the Memory Inspector using the extension API, enabling users to customize the tool to their specific needs.

Background

The Memory Inspector is a valuable tool for developers, but its default settings may not be optimal for all use cases. For instance, the default settings may not account for 32-bit addresses based on debugged CPU, automatic load while scrolling, or grouping data in the window by default as 4 MAUs with MAU size 1. These customizations can significantly enhance the user experience and make the tool more effective for debugging and analysis.

Current Workaround

One possible workaround for achieving custom settings is to write workspace settings. However, this approach has limitations, particularly when it comes to tailoring address sizes for specific CPUs (32-bit vs 64-bit). The extension API provides a more elegant solution, allowing developers to create custom settings that are specific to their use case.

Benefits of Contributing Default Configurations

Contributing default configurations to the Memory Inspector using the extension API offers several benefits:

Customization: Users can tailor the tool to their specific needs, enhancing the user experience and making the tool more effective for debugging and analysis.
Flexibility: The extension API allows developers to create custom settings that are specific to their use case, providing flexibility and adaptability.
Improved Productivity: By providing custom settings, developers can streamline their workflow, reducing the time and effort required for debugging and analysis.

Implementation

To implement this feature, the following steps can be taken:

Review the Extension API: Study the Memory Inspector's extension API to understand its capabilities and limitations.
Design Custom Settings: Design custom settings that cater to specific use cases, such as 32-bit addresses based on debugged CPU, automatic load while scrolling, or grouping data in the window by default as 4 MAUs with MAU size 1.
Implement Custom Settings: Implement the custom settings using the extension API, ensuring that they are compatible with the Memory Inspector's architecture.
Test and Validate: Thoroughly test and validate the custom settings to ensure that they work as expected and do not introduce any bugs or issues.

Conclusion

Contributing default configurations to the Memory Inspector using the extension API can significantly enhance the user experience and make the tool more effective for debugging and analysis. By providing custom settings, developers can tailor the tool to their specific needs, improving productivity and reducing the time and effort required for debugging and analysis. This feature request proposes implementing custom settings using the extension API, enabling users to customize the tool to their specific needs.
