It is impossible to view global data in Reko GUI

It would be nice to view decompiled global variables in Reko GUI

I'm thinking this is best done by exposing a node in the browser tree under each segment called "Global data". Clicking on the node will display the global variables in a listing similar to what happens when you select a procedure in the browser tree. Creating a tree node for each global variable could be extremely overwhelming.

So, to implement this:

• [ ] Funnel all changes to the global variables through a methods on Program, perhaps called Program.AddGlobal and Program.RenameGlobal which raise the event GlobalAddedand GlobalRenamed respectively.
• [ ] Create a view similar to CodeView, called GlobalsView which displays all the globals of a given Program.
• [ ] Have GlobalsView listen to Program.GlobalDiscovered and when the event is received, it should invalidate its model and invalidate its client rectangle.
• [ ] The GlobalsView.OnPaint method should check for an invalidated model and recreate it before painting.

This needs to be expanded to handle x86 segmented binaries. In that case the "Globals" node is specific to each x86 segment.

We have a "Procedures" tab now. Perhaps it is time to create a related "Global data" tab?

Nice idea!
