According to an email from Matthias, there was no legal barrier to this
patch, see:


http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-debug-dev/msg01560.html

I've updated the PR with your comments 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=126092

Maybe we can resolve this.

Ok, If we can do this for 4.0 we should move the milestone.
But #84934 needs a change to CDI also

You mention this a few times last year, but I've been so disconnected from
CDT/Debug that my mind is blank, send me an email to refresh my memories.
