RE: [cdt-debug-dev] Absolute paths and source containers

["Alexiev, Dobrin" <dalexiev@xxxxxx>]

We have done some changes in this area to tackle these issues as well. 
Right now we are in the process of upgrading our code to Callisto. 
I can attach our changes to the same 91808 if you think it can be of any
help.

I'd love to see the patch just to get an idea of how you've made
it work.  Reading through 91808 the description it seems to be a
bit 'terse'.

Thanks, 
 Thomas ... not opposed to the idea.
