Sounds good.  I've added to the wiki, so we don't forget :-)

 

BTW, I got the bug wrong below.  The bug I used to implement this is

http://bugs.eclipse.org/318214

That's a pretty major change we really need to think about. Let's lump that into launching discussions at the summit.

Hi,

 

just an update to confirm that I have done this as part of http://bugs.eclipse.org/291633

 

I'm now wondering if the first launch config

"C/C++ Application"

should not be renamed to

"C/C++ Local Application"

 

especially when looking at it for Run mode where the only two config visible are

"C/C++ Application"

"C/C++ Remote Application"  (when installed)

 

Anyone?

 

Thanks

 

Marc

Subject: [cdt-dev] Having a Remote Application launch config type

Hi,

 

A little before the Helios release TM's remote launch was moved to the CDT as an optional feature.

(http://bugs.eclipse.org/267065)  Let's call it an Advanced Remote Launch.

When having installed that feature, the user gets a new launch config type: "C/C++ Remote Application"

 

 

The 'problem' is that we already have a Basic Remote Launch for DSF-GDB.

The value of the Advanced one is that it will start gdbserver automatically and upload

the binary to the target.

 

The Basic Remote launch is part

of the "C/C++ Application" launch config type as a launch delegate

and must be manually chosen by the user.  Not nice.  Especially if the user has been exposed

to a "C/C++ REmote Application" launch config type.

 

What I suggest is to move "C/C++ Remote Application" launch config type into main CDT, so it would

always be availble.  Then we would make the Advanced Remote Launch the default when available,

and the Basic one the default in other cases.

 

From a user point-of-view, they would automatically get the best available launch, depending on

what they have installed.  Much nicer.

 

I wanted to know if anyone was was opposed to having this fourth launch config type

permanently there?  Note that for Run mode, this new launch config type would only show when

the Advanced Remote launch is installed.  This simply starts the remote app using RSE.

 

I opened http://bugs.eclipse.org/318214 about this.

 

Thanks

 

Marc
