  • Mike: happy with state as far as stability
  • Pawel: Would we like to pursue this further as a generic feature:
    • Marc: would like to have this feature as a generic
• Ideas to prevent data loss when deleting a conditional breakpoint:
  • do other debugger providers have conditional breakpoints?
    • Yes, CDT does but condition editing is not as rich as JDT's
  • do other debugger providers have template support?
    • Good idea, CDT could benefit from a parallel feature.
  • do other debugger providers add undo support?
    • UNDO support for BP delete is welcome by all
• Breakpoint Actions (Bug 295658)
  • Background: BP actions is a CDT feature that we would like to contribute to platform to make them generic. Examples of actions: resume, play sound, etc.
  • Current dilemma is whether to breakpoint actions need to re-use the standard command framework.
  • Mike: IBM has an equivalent feature, not sure what is the desire to pull in a standard framework.
  • Pawel: it would really help if some other party needed this feature and helped contribute it to platform.
