Description Norman Yee CLA 2009-07-16 09:44:49 EDT 
Build ID: I20090611-1540

Steps To Reproduce:
This bug can be reproduced with the GDB DSF debugger plugin, org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.

1. create an Eclipse debug launch configuration and launch it
2. from the Eclipse that was just launched, create a debug launch configuration for the "DSF C/C++ local application" and launch it
3. set a breakpoint on canStep() in MIRunControl.java
4. in the debug view, click on the instruction stepping mode button.  note that the breakpoint on canStep() doesn't get hit.


More information:
I'm working on a custom DSF debugger plugin that doesn't support instruction mode step over and step out and I need to gray out the step over and step out buttons when instruction stepping mode is enabled.  The problem is that canStep() never gets called to enable/disable those buttons when I press the instruction stepping mode button.

Pawel Piech said: "I think this is a bug, (please file one).  The handler for the toggle instruction step mode action should cause a refresh of the whole view so that the actions will get updated.  I think that's the simplest solution, other solutions would be much more complicated."
