Re: [cdt-dev] Debug actions are registered twice

[John Cortell <rat042@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wonder if the new common gdb plugins I added a few weeks could save the
day here.

One thing I question, though....launching a DSF-GDB session and then a
CDI-GDB session doesn't result in these actions appearing twice. Why is
it happening when your debugger is in the mix?

I’m just wondering, is there a need to register debug actions ‘Run to Line’, ‘Move to Line’, ‘Resume at Line’, and ‘Add Watch _expression_’ twice in the editor’s context menu?
These actions are registered once in org.eclipse.cdt.debug.ui and again under org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.ui.  The former plug-in looks for ‘org.eclipse.cdt.debug.ui.debuggerActive’ system property and latter plug-in looks for ‘org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.ui.debuggerActive’ property in order to display the actions.
 
We have a proprietary debug engine based on DSF.  It doesn’t use GDB at all.  The problem occurs when I start a DSF-GDB debug session, terminate it, and start our custom DSF-based debug session.  This will result in the debug actions getting registered twice:
