Re: [cdt-dev] Should gdb default non-stop mode debugging?

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Windows and Mac don't support non-stop.

Specific embedded targets also may not support non-stop.

There is a preferences 

    C/C++->Debug->GDB => "Non-stop mode"

that the user can enable so that non-stop is selected by default

for each new launch.

All-stop works all the time.

So, although I always run non-stop, it is probably safer to leave

the default to all-stop, and let users that understand the difference

enable it.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Should gdb default non-stop mode debugging?

 

Is there any reason for not defaulting the CDT debugger to use non-stop debugging these days (i.e.
are there known gdb implementations out there supported by CDT that don't support non-stop mode)?
If there are good reasons, should the default be based on the gdb version or platform?

This came up as a Fedora bug so I thought I would ask the CDT Debug experts to see if the default
is set the way it is for more than historical reasons.
