RE: [cdt-debug-dev] GDB reporting "No symbol 'whatever' in currentcontex

["Mikhail Khodjaiants" <Mikhail.Khodjaiants@xxxxxxx>]

Derek,

The problem is that there is no information where the
"evaluateExpressionToString" method is called from. If we suppress the
console output we will suppress it for all calls regardless if it is
hovering or something else. But I would go for it, displaying the output
only if the console is in the "verbose" mode.

Mikhail,

I was about to compose a response to Alain, but you have saved me.

I completely, 100% agree with the comments in the PR (and I have added
my vote to it).

Yes, it should be suppressed. And, as of CDT3.1.1, it has not been
fixed.

Thanks
