| Adding to "Debug As..." sub menu? [message #334718] |

Is there any way I can add additional "shortcuts" to the "Debug As..."
submenu (under "Run" and the right-click menu for a binary file)?
Specifically, for a C++ application I get one entry by default - "Local
C/C++ application". I'd really like to have "C/C++ Postmortem debugger"
and "C/C++ Attach to Local Application" as well - so that I won't have to
add special debug configurations for each and every program to get access
to these (very useful) debug options.
I can't seem to find anything about this, or the "Debug as" menu in
general in the debug documentation, but perhaps I'm looking at the wrong
place...

No...
I'm not sure I follow you. Are you saying that I have to add or modify a
plugin to do this kind of thing? I was rather hoping I could configure a
"link" between the menu and other GUI items, like "Debug configurations",
from within the GUI itself...

If you wanted a Launch-shortcut to appear in the run and/or debug sub
menus, you would have to declare an extension to this point. This is a
task for a plug-in developer.

If the plug-in developer had provided such a shortcut, it would have been
available in the run/debug sub menu. Since you are looking for C/C++
launch shortcuts, this sounds like a feature request for CDT. You may
discuss this on the CDT newsgroup :

OK. Fair enough.

What I was trying to say, is that it seems to me it should be possible to
have a menu like "Debug as" automatically pick up the configuration types
available from "Debug Configuration" (and similarly for "Run as"/"Run
configuration"), without the need for a "shortcut" definition as such. But
maybe that's yet another feature request...

Yeah, maybe I'll ask there, and/or check the appropriate component in
Bugzilla...
