When I press the restart button while debugging a simple non-threaded console program, I get a dialog box with the following message: "Execution is suspended because of error" and if I press the detail button, I see: "/dev/pts/5: No such file or directory You can't do that without a process to debug" /dev/pts/5 exists before pressing "restart" but not after. It looks like the above details come from gdb.
I enabled the gdb output and after clicking on restart got the following: [1,152,135,041,245] 131-break-insert -t main [1,152,135,041,251] 131^done,bkpt={number="9",type="breakpoint",disp="del",enabled="y",addr="0x08048\ 230",func="main",file="../main.cpp",line="53",times="0"} [1,152,135,041,252] 132-exec-run [1,152,135,041,253] (gdb) [1,152,135,041,257] 132^running [1,152,135,041,258] (gdb) [1,152,135,041,429] &"/dev/pts/5: No such file or directory.\n" [1,152,135,041,432] &"You can't do that without a process to debug.\n" [1,152,135,041,433] 132^error,msg="You can't do that without a process to debug."

Restart will work if you turn off the "Connect process input and output to a terminal" option in the launch configuration dialog. The "Restart" button should be disabled if the session uses pty.
Indeed it does, thanks. But then not seeing the output of a console application is kind of limiting. Is it a known limitation? Restarting seems to be much faster than stoping first and then starting the debugger again.

Just got the same problem... But isn't this report a duplicate of bug 144330?

You get your output to a console, and can still restart the program.
