Re: [cdt-dev] Verbose console mode in DSF/GDB

[Doug Schaefer <cdtdoug@xxxxxxxxx>]

Have you ever debugged with CDI/MI and seen an DOS window pop up when
you launch for debug? In recent years our gdb integration does an
explicit "set new-console off" explicitly to turn off this feature as
we try to capture the stdout from the inferior. Unfortunately that I/O
is buffered on Windows (we use pty to force the output on Linux), and
worse, on exit it doesn't flush, it's just gone. If you let a console
pop up naturally you'll see the output there as the program steps.

Now, for some reason, the checkbox in the MI launcher that is supposed
to enable/disable is greyed out and the feature is disabled (even
though the checkbox is turned on). We had a customer run into that and
we had to tell them to use the "Standard" instead of "Standard
(Windows)" command factory to bypass the "set new-console off" call.
It's ugly all 'round.
