Reproducible: Always

Could you advise what advantages dynamic debug tracing would provide?
Comment 3 Jason Litton CLA 2012-07-17 10:44:39 EDT 
The dynamic tracing option is provided by Platform as of Juno. If you want to turn tracing on, you don't have to launch a debug session of Eclipse anymore, you can launch a standard Eclipse, go to window->preferences->general->tracing and turn on debug options there. In that same preference page, you can select a file to save the debug trace to. This is much more helpful in debugging problems in the field, because we can tell users which debug options need to be turned on. They can do that, then send us a file. I've been doing this for all the other packages in CDT (see bugs 385085, 385067, 384872, 384862, 379169).
