[cdt-dev] Fw: Bug/Proposal: Custom debugger launch failure

Hi,
I'm trying to solve a problem regarding running a custom debugger using the CDT interfaces. My
custom debugger requires setup through the use of environmental variables such as updates
to the path, etc.  The current interfaces do not provide a way to change the debuggers
environment. I propose a few simple changes to the CDT debuggger launcher to fix this bug.

Proposal:
**** File/Class
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.GDBServerCDIDebugger

Modify createLaunchSession to accept a "String[] envp" parameter. Use the original
createLaunchSession method to call the new one, but with a default envp Array.
This will prevent any previously working code from breaking.

OR...

Add IGDBServerMILaunchConfigurationConstants/IMILaunchConfigurationConstants attribute for specifying
envp strings and have the createLaunchSession pick it up and pass it along to MIPugin.

**** File/Class
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.MIPlugin

Modify all of the createCSession function to take a String[] envp parameters. Use the same technique
above to keep the original interface methods whilst having access to the new ones.

**** File/Class
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.MIProcessAdapter

Modify the CTOR and the getGDBProcess to accept a new parameter, specifically the String[] envp parameter.
Finally, in getGDBProcess pass this parameter into the calls of ProcessFactory.getFactory().exec(...).
Thanks!
