Re: [cdt-debug-dev] Projectless debugging of Linux apps
|
I can't comment on the launch configuration restrictions. I am not a big fan
of making software too smart if it is not necessary. Maybe it is necessary
in this case - I don't know, I haven't had chance to investigate it. Maybe,
Dave Ingils can comment on this if he's following the discussion.
Anyway, as far as I understand we have agreed that the following steps need
to launch the debugger with the executable located outside of the workspace.
Correct me if I am wrong.
1. Specify the executable.
2. Automatically create a temporary project.
3. Launch a debug session.
4. On attemp to remove the terminated session ask the user if he wants to
save the project.
The simple way to implement this is to add a launch configuration. In the
future we can combine both launch configurations together.

Unleash CDT! Remove the check for whether a binary is inside a CDT
project!
I think the better way is to add a special launch configuration,
at least for now.
I want to understand why you say this, because I think it essentially
kills all hope of making baby-steps towards projectless debugging.
It seems to me that the Eclipse CDT team prefers large atomic
contributions over small improvements. I can see why, but those
contributions are much rarer and much less likely unless some sponsor
steps.
This is particularly frustrating since CDT actually does work with
projectless local debugging as well or better than Insight in many
cases, with a couple of restraining bolts removed.
While I'm at it, I'd also like to understand why these "restraining
bolts" are put into the code in the first place.
