RE: [cdt-debug-dev] hack in CVariable.dispose()

[John Cortell <john.cortell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hm. Well its unsettling that we have a hack in the code with no 
useful explanation along side it, and thus no reasonable course of 
action to correct it. Our debugger isn't gdb/mi based, so while our 
correction has been validated thoroughly with our debugger, it 
appears we're going to have to indefinitely keep this as a 
private/Freescale change, and such discrepancies are a pain when it 
comes to moving up to a newer CDT. If you or Alain end up remembering 
why that hack was put in the code, please let me know so we can revisit this.
