Re: [cdt-dev] Debug process does not terminate when invoked from eclipse

["Mikhail Khodjaiants" <mikhailk@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Norbert,

If the gdbserver process is registered with your launch, than terminating 
the launch will terminate it as well as all other registered processes and 
targets. Otherwise, it is your code that is responsible to handle this 
situation.
