[cdt-dev] CDT launches affected by DSF launches

["Marc Khouzam" <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

For those of you that install both DSF and CDT launches, I made a boo-boo.

 

As part of bug 232357 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=232357,

we removed all dependencies from DSF to the CDT Debug feature.

To achieve this, I used some of the CDT extension points to re-use CDT

code that is part of the CDT platform feature.

 

I just noticed that these extensionsalso get picked up  (of course) by the CDT

launches.  What that means is that if you have both DSF and CDT launches,

the CDT launches will contain two similar debugger entries:

gdb/mi twice

gdbserver debugger twice

 

One of these two choices is for DSF and will *not* work when used from a

CDT launch.

 

Bug 235862 has been opened about this.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=235862

 

The short term solution is to rename the DSF extensions labels to something

that will differentiate from the CDT ones like "gdb/mi (DSF only)"

 

Better solutions are welcome.

 

In the long term, Doug S wants to rework the whole launch framework, so this will

get fixed in the process.

 

My apologies for this poor interaction between DSF and CDT.

 

Marc
