[dsdp-dd-dev] New type of launch discussion

["Marc Khouzam" <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

currently DSF-GDB supports the following launches:

 

Local debugging

Attach to local running application

Remote debugging

 

Besides debugging of a core file, which I will not address here, there

is another possibility, which is to Attach to a remote running application.

I don't believe CDI supports this.  However, I would like to add this to

DSF-GDB (as we discussed in a previous meeting.)

 

Having looked at the design of such support, I got to thinking that

the launches should be divided into two types: 

 

Local debugging

Remote debugging

 

Each of these would support

    - start an application

    - attach to running application

 

I think this makes sense to a user, and allows for the most code sharing.

It also reduces the number of launch configuration types.

 

My concern is that maybe it is too late to remove the "Attach to local running application"

launch configuration type since we are past M7.

 

Any thoughts in the proposal and how to go about it?

 

Thanks
