Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked theia-cpp-extensions pull request and the preliminary Embedded SIG discussions. The work is an umbrella migration rather than a scoped change: establish a standalone Memory Inspector extension that can be consumed by VSCode or Theia, then move tracking to its new repository once it exists.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The Memory Inspector is a very powerful UI delivering the best Memory View in the market today. However today it is tied to Theia and cannot be used in VSCode as an extension.

There have been preliminary discussions at the Embedded SIG about moving the memory inspector to its own extension that can be consumed by VSCode or Theia.

Interested parties in this work include ARM, Ericsson and Renesas. Specifically @colin-grant-work, @thegecko, @jonahgraham have shown interest in contributing to this work.

This issue is the umbrella to track making it its own extension. Once there is a git repo for the extension it is expected that this issue will be moved to that repo.
