RE: [cdt-dev] proposal: remove several CDI debuggers

+1
I hope this will also reduce the list of debugger that can be found in the preference page (c/c++->debug->???)

Subject: [cdt-dev] proposal: remove several CDI debuggers

Mikhail confirmed in

   https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=304380

that two of the debuggers available for CDI are redundant and obsolete (gdb Debugger and CygWin gdb Debugger). The list is quite long and confusing, so removing two of the entries would help a lot. Anyone have an objection to their removal? If we relocated Doug's debugger-finding logic to the gdb/mi debugger, we could even get rid of a third and actually give the CDI user a sensible, short list of debugger choices. Sure, we are focusing on DSF-GDB but there's no reason we can't take a little time and try to make sure those using or adopting CDI aren't hopelessly confused.
