[cdt-dev] FW: [cdt-debug-dev] Fixing some Debug feature-parity bugs

>From Marc-Andre Laperle  (forwarded from cdt-debug-dev which I posted the orginal by mistake)

Great idea about the wiki, I will create one.
As for documentation, yes there is some for DSF, but to be honnest, it's been so long since I looked
at it that I don't know where the latest doc is.  Maybe someone else can answer better than me?

Thanks Marc-Andre!

Hi,

I'm still pretty new to DSF and DSF-GDB but I want to help so I'll pick
the what looks like the easier ones. I'll try to do:

http://bugs.eclipse.org/274951 [cdi] Add Watch action to C/C++ Editor
http://bugs.eclipse.org/269927 [console] [cdi] Allow to save console to
a file

I will also look at any bugs on Mac that might come up. Maybe we should
have a wiki page with who is trying to fix what? Also, is there any
documentation on DSF/DSF-GDB that could help me getting more familiar
with the framework?

Thanks!

Marc-Andre
