Ability for Segments to have Names

[0cyn]

What is the feature you'd like to have?
The full-featured ability in UI and via API for segments to have names and have them displayed. This would include Address Display formats.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
#6513 -- Frequently there are large mapped regions of memory in SharedCaches, and occasionally even regular Mach-Os which are within a segment but not a section.

These segments have names encoded in the header or generated by the loader which would be very useful for users navigating around to see.

Memory regions have names, you can enable the column in the segments view:

We might just want to make this a more user facing feature and enable it by default and then seed the file backed regions with the appropriate segment name, instead of the default region name.

The Region name field is enabled by default now in in 5.1.7924-dev.

If you are adding MemoryRegions via the MemoryMap API, yes we have name support. If you are using the AddUserSegment/AddAutoSegment APIs, those names are autogenerated when the Segments are ingested by the memory map.

I'll close this issue for now as it appears to be resolved. If we need additional naming capabilities, we could potentially add a 'description' property to a memory region which is not required to be unique.

Also, if we need name support for AutoSegments, this is possible as well. It would arrive through a larger feature of adding a AddMappedLoadMemoryRegion API. With the addition of this API, the AddUserSegment/AddAutoSegment APIs could be deprecated.
