Hi I noticed one change between Eclipse version 4.10(CDT 9.6) and version 4.5(CDT 8.7) in perspective of how externally started applications from make file are handled after build is finished(processing of make file is done).
In older revision(CDT 8.7) if I start any external application from make file, for example simple application like notepad using: "start C:/Windows/system32/notepad.exe" make file command, notepad is started and I can see "Build Finished" message in CDT Build console log but notepad remains open.
However in same setup with new version of CDT 9.6 I am facing different behavior, it looks like CDT Build console closes all opened external applications as soon as it finishes with processing of make file, "Build Finished" message reached. If I place any pause or wait after starting notepad it will remain open until end of makefile is reached.
This is my first post so sorry if I break some forum rules, I spent some time trying to find information about this behavior but without success. My question is this expected behavior(like new feature) or some kind of bug as it is different between two revisions.
The easiest steps to reproduce this problem are:
1. Create new empty Makefile project
2. Add Makefile with next content to the project:
.PHONY: test
test:
start C:/Windows/system32/notepad.exe
3. Add new make target with "test" name. Add custom build command if you don't have make in PATH.
4. Run this new make target with different versions.
