Handling of --thread option vs. -thread-select.
- Will revisit the question after Francois can come back to non-stop work.
Context vs extra parameter (MIVarCreate vs MIThreadInfo)
- Context determines the context in which the command should be evaluated, not for carrying information about command parameters.
Compatibility issue of bug 237556 comment #23
- We do need to maintain backward compatibility, even on methods which are event listeners.
ServiceFactory for GDBControl, which is not an IDsfService bug 237556 comment #23
- Service factory should be used to create the command control, even though the interface itself is not a service.
Adding IThread as parent when creating IExecution
- Threads should be used as parents to the execution contexts, so they need to be created by the MIProcesses service.
Adding multiple parents in DMContexts adds complexity to: equals (order, duplicates), toString (duplicates and same-level), hashcode (duplicates), toList (duplicates, order)
- Need to add a toSet() method which will return an depth-ordered set of elements of an element. The toString() could then use it.
DSF interfaces not containing create*, can*, how come?
- IProcesses should include the can* methods, it should not include the create* methods as those can be architecture dependent.
