[cdt-dev] debug context and C/C++ perspective

[Branko Drevenšek <branko.drevensek@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

For our architecture all launches currently use DSF. Normal runs just 
don't set any breakpoints, but the rest of it is practically same.

Now I have some data I can get while program is running (this data can 
not be read by debugger), which I want to refresh when debugger stops or 
program terminates.

While user is debugging I'm listening for debug context 
(DebugUITools.addPartDebugContextListener), which works pretty fine, 
although I still have to play a little to just process each debugger 
stop single time.

Main problem currently is this: if I start eclipse and run a program (in 
non-debug mode) from C/C++ perspective, I get no debugContextChanged 
events. If I switch to debug perspective, running a program or debugging 
it starts dispatching debug context events. Even if I start eclipse, 
switch to debug perspective, then immediately switch back to C/C++, 
these events dispatch.

Is this some bug in debug context manager, or does it behave this way by 
design? Or am I just missing something?

(I have an idea for a workaround (listening for sessions being started 
and use this if there is no context), but I'd like to be sure this is 
the only way.

Regards.
