I carefully outlined the topic of my question, so it’s right on the spot:
in Eclipse CDT I do not see a tooltip that displays the value of a variable. That is, when I hover over a variable in the Debug perspective, then a tooltip that should display the value of this variable does not appear.
I played with the settings C / C ++ → Editor → Hovers and it is confusing that I can notice that everything that I change there really has an effect. In particular, when I turn on “combo hover” or “debugger”, I see that the eclipse is talking to gdb when I hover over a variable and see the gdb response in the console with “GDB traces”. For instance. hovering over i gives:
540,068 74-data-evaluate-expression --thread 1 --frame 0 i
540,068 74^done,value="0"
So far so good, but I do not see the corresponding clue. I can press F2 and it will open a simple hint with the image "i = 0", but this is not quite what I want. And this does not look like tooltips at all do not work: when I turn on the modifier keys for Combined Guidance and the Debugger, move the mouse pointer and leave the Navigator without the modifier key, then a hover over the variable will display this announcement as a hint expected. But returning this setting or pressing modifier keys that trigger a tooltip with variables still has no effect. Also, as mentioned above, gdb traces show me that the eclipse is being informed about what should be displayed. Oh, and by the way: I really remember that it worked once.I also have a very faint memory that at some point it was nervous, and I have an even weaker memory that I might have done something to turn off these tooltips. But now I would like to return them.
