[cdt-dev] GDB, Terminate, and project refresh(es)

["Pruitt, John" <john.pruitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In org.eclipse.cdt.launch/src/org/eclipse/cdt/launch/internal/ui/LaunchUIPlugin.java there is a function called handleDebugEvents. If the event is a TERMINATE for a Process-like object, it looks like it does a refresh of the project associated with the process being terminated.

 

When a simple project like hello is started with run->debug using GDB and then a "Terminate and Relaunch" action is chosen on this process, there appear to be two TERMINATE events created for Process-like objects. These two events are created at:

 

RuntimeProcess.fireTerminateEvent

GDBProcess.fireTerminateEvent

 

I was wondering about two things.

 

1. Why is a project refreshed when a debug Terminate action is chosen?

2. Why is the project refreshed twice?

 

Thanks.
