Hello, 
I recently submitted a 
patch that lets other CDT debuggers with custom source lookup participants to 
contribute these participants to “C/C++/Debug/Common Source Lookup path” 
preference page. 
The flexibility of 
Eclipse and CDT allows debuggers to be based on CDT and extend the stock CDT 
source lookup algorithms. 
The only missing piece 
was I couldn’t add these custom source lookup participants through the CDT 
preference page. 
The proposed extension 
point solves that. 
Does anyone have 
comments on the patch - too risky, not complete, other ways to achieve the same, 
etc.?
Here is the thread with 
the initial discussion:
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg15561.html
For us (TI) is enough 
the patch to be in the main branch since we won’t release off the CDT 6.0.1 
branch. 
But other debuggers 
based on CDT 6.0.1 could find the extension point 
useful.
Regards
Dobrin

Subject: [cdt-dev] New extension 
point for 6.0.1
 
Dobrin submitted a patch that adds a 
new extension point. Is it acceptable for a minor version - 6.0.1? The 
patch doesn't break the current API, neither it extends 
it.
