Marc,

+1 I think it should go into CDT 6.0.

Is this partly in now? I just updated from CVS and my build is broken with:

Description    Resource    Path    Location    Type
IGdbDebugConstants cannot be resolved    GDBControl.java    /org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb/src/org/eclipse/cdt/dsf/gdb/service/command    line 414    Java Problem

Subject: [cdt-dev] Bug fix late in the release?

Hi, 

DSF-GDB currently leaves GDB running after the debugged program finishes. 
It seems people find this confusing and may give the impression that 
DSF-GDB is not behaving well.  I'm afraid it may make some people 
think it has bugs and dissuade them from using it. 

I wrote a patch to add a preference to control this behavior, and make 
the default be the same as CDI (kill GDB when program terminates) 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=234468 <https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=234468> 

The preference is a UI change, and there is some minor API changes 
(two new methods and an interface file). 

I'm looking for some guidance if I should commit this for 6.0 or not. 
The main point is that I don’t want to have some behavior that would 
turn off people from using DSF-GDB. 

Thanks for any opinions. 

Marc
