Hi Beth,
That would be great. I’m sure a lot of people would use such a feature.

We've been talking about doing that with general PTP/CDT projects too, would be useful for other tools as well.

Glad to hear you like the debugger. :-)
Unfortunately, what you want isn't possible right now. The debugger
depends on having a C/C++ project configured and a launch
configuration created for it... and those things have to be done
manually.
It might be possible to make this happen with some more programming --
as Ralph suggested. (Thinking out loud...) The easiest thing would
be, at startup, to have Photran create a project and launch
configuration "under the hood." But Eclipse takes 10-30 seconds to
start as it is. (Contrast with DDD, which starts in 2 seconds even
over a remote X Windows link.) Another option would be to extract the
debugger into a leaner, standalone application, without dependencies
on Eclipse's project model and the other "heavyweight" parts of
Eclipse. But since the debugger has always been part of CDT, I
suspect that the number of CDT/Platform dependencies would make that
impractical...
Jeff
