CDT builds all C projects before launch [message #175466]

I'm working on a new plugin that has a launch configuration type which
launches files from CDT standard make projects.

The problem is that every time I launch with it, CDT builds every C
project in the workspace before eclipse even calls my launch configuration
delegate.

Does anyone know why CDT would want to build every single C project in the
workspace? What might trigger this? How does CDT even know that I'm trying
to launch with my launch configuration type? It seems like the debug
plugin would just invoke my launch delegate directly. Why is CDT even
involved?

Any ideas on how I can stop this from happening?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I'm not totally familiar with your plug-in but I can point out a few
workbench and project settings that you might not be aware of.

Under Preferences->Run/Debug->Launching you will see General Settings
relating builds and launches. You may have inherited some settings that you
need to override in your plug-in that you don't even know about yet.

There are also C/C++ fields in the Workbench Preferences panel. Under the
Make section you will find auto and incremental settings that are default
for any new project. If you leave the defaults then I've found that by
building one project I inadvertently start building all projects (unless I
change the default or close the other projects).

You're probably aware of all this though but I thought I would mention just
in case.

Regards,
Chad

Yep, you're right. It was the "Build (if required) before launching"
option under Run/Debug -> Launching. No, I didn't know about that. Thanks.
