Re: [cdt-dev] binary-less debugging
|
Having a binary makes plenty of sense for JTAG debugging. There's
just different types of launches that one may want.
- Download, launch and debug an executable
- Connect to the target and use the debug information in an
executable to provide source level debugging of code already running
- Connect without using any debug information--"poke around"
Being able to not specify an executable is desirable for the third
scenario and it would be nice if we could get that. I think Ken Ryall
looked into it initially and found a lot of dependencies on the
binary. He can probably chime in and indicate why he didn't go through with it.

I want to fix CDI launch (CDIDebugModel.newDebugTarget) to make binary

because passing debugging binary for many cases does not make any sense
- such as for JTag debugging.
In this case it launch gdb without binary argument, and set-up can use
gdb commands to set symbol file, etc.
It does not mean that it would be optional in UI, default debug launch
still requires it.
Any objections?
