Re: [cdt-dev] Startting remote program from GDB using "target remote"

["Mikhail Khodjaiants" <mikhailk@xxxxxxx>]

The "newDebugTarget" method of CDIDebugModel class has a boolean attribute -
"resumeTarget". If you pass "false" the "run" command will not be executed.
See "LocalRunLaunchDelegate" and "LocalAttachLaunchDelegate" classes for
details.
