Re: [cdt-patch] Reloaded: Displaying thread names in debug view

["Mikhail Khodjaiants" <mikhailk@xxxxxxx>]

Stefan,

There is a proposal to add an extension point to the mi core plugin to allow 
the replacement of the "standard" command factory. The current 
implementation of "info shared" is another example on this issue. Regarding 
this patch, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=115804 for 
more information.
Ideas and suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks,
Mikhail
