Re: [cdt-dev] Bug fix late in the release?

In Device Debugging we had a published ramp-down policy which specified what kinds of changes were acceptable for which builds, and what approvals were needed for them.  Historically in CDT, I don't think a documented ramp-down policy was ever maintained so developers use their own judgment as far as what changes to make late in the release cycle, and who to notify of the changes.  Personally, this ambiguity makes me rather uncomfortable but as component leaders I think we could devise our own ramp-down policy.  As for this particular change, my advice is that you follow your own judgment :-)

Cheers,
Pawel

Bug fix late in the release?

Hi,

DSF-GDB currently leaves GDB running after the debugged program finishes.
It seems people find this confusing and may give the impression that
DSF-GDB is not behaving well.  I'm afraid it may make some people
think it has bugs and dissuade them from using it.

I wrote a patch to add a preference to control this behavior, and make
the default be the same as CDI (kill GDB when program terminates)
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=234468

The preference is a UI change, and there is some minor API changes
(two new methods and an interface file).

I'm looking for some guidance if I should commit this for 6.0 or not.
The main point is that I don’t want to have some behavior that would
turn off people from using DSF-GDB.

Thanks for any opinions.

Marc
