Re: [cdt-debug-dev] Thread names in CDT debug view?

[Stefan Bylund <steby@xxxxxxx>]

So, if the GDB MI command "-thread-list-ids" is enhanced to provide thread names and current
thread in a future GDB 6.x release and a future CDT release would provide support for this
feature the problem will be solved in an elegant way. This is very good!

In the meantime, I guess I have to temporarily hack the org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core plugin to
extract the thread names from the GDB CLI command "info threads" as I described in
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-debug-dev/msg00467.html.

Best regards,
Stefan Bylund
