RE: [cdt-debug-dev] GDB reporting "No symbol 'whatever' in current context."
|
Derek,
There is a bug for this problem -
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=121641. I had an
impression that it had been fixed. I think we should suppress the
console output in this case regardless if there is an error or not.

Well, I don't think the current behaviour is acceptable:
- when you move the mouse and pause slightly over a random area of the
source window, the console window switches to the front and displays a
meaningless (to the user) error message.
In the circumstances, suppressing the error seems the best thing to do.
Shall I raise a PR?
