Re: [cdt-dev] catchpoints

This is the most tricky part. Short answer is for gdb is close to 
impossible to do.
For example to know if gdb support catchpoints you not only  need to 
start gdb but you also have to start program. I was thinking making ui 
(i.e. Add catchpoint... dialog) always show up and let backed return not 
supported operation in attempt to use particular unsupported event 
catchpoint.
As what is showing up in the dialog as events: I think we let debugger 
plugin to contribute events, so technically if  debugger does not 
contribute anything it won't show up.
