I'd like to force Eclipse CDT to stop debugging and to rebuild the project after I edit & save the source file I am currently stepping through. Or at least to stop debugging after I press Build Project. Currently, after I change&save source file, and select Build Project, I get an error message: "cannot open output file myapp.exe: Permission denied". I have to: - Terminate the app first, - then do Build Project again and - finaly Run it again. Happens all the time since I usualy edit the source and forget if I am in the debug mode or not. The request is to add a feature which would in one step: - Terminate the debuging session - Rebuild the project Idealy, there would be a step 3 included too: - Relaunch the debug session which was interrupted with file edit. This would very quickly rebuild the changes and get me where I was before I edited sources. This would save so many clicks, and so much time in the debugging process.
Still no news?
(In reply to Danijel Domazet from comment #1) > Still no news? Hi Danijel - this bug is a great enhancement idea. I am willing to help you contribute it if you want to work on it. At the moment there is no one scheduled to work on it. That said, using the Launchbar you can get some of this resolved. When you press the "Debug" or "Run" button on the launchbar it will terminate the existing session before starting a new one. Using that may help your flow in the meantime. The think about universally doing this feature is that some projects want the opposite to happen (and some vendors have implemented this already). On save and build they want the existing debug session to be updated with the changed code. Last time I used VC++ it did that (I assume it still does). Other languages do that too (such as Java).
