- Should we turn on by default? Yes. Will notify the list
- Improved solution compared to JDT
- William is looking into fixing things in JDT also
- CMake support
- LLDB support http://eclip.se/405670 https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/78293
- Goal is to provide better debug on Mac
- Good example of extending DSF-GDB
- May eventually be interesting on Windows too
- lldb-mi basically pretends to be GDB
- not everything is supported though (non nonstop, no reverse debug, ...)
- new launch delegate to support lldb
- code available https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/78293

- Full console update http://eclip.se/303808
- Upcoming GDB 7.12 required. Should be available in September
- Marc K finalizing patch to support full console in CDT https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/62920/
- Marc D working on synchronizing the console and the UI thread/frame selection https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/77896
- Mikhail has concerns because it proved very unstable when attempted in the past
- With recent improvements to GDB, we hope it will be much easier to do
- How do we handle multiple selections?
- Jonah suggested (based on a customer solution) to bold the selection that matches the GDB one
- This provides a solution if there is no selection in the DV or the selection is a different launch (but GDB still has one)
- The bold highlights the whole hierarchy (process->thread->frame)
- Jonah mentioned a customer he knows has this working properly. Ericsson has a similar experience
- After repeated feedback that having the full GDB console as part of the console view provides a poor user experience, there is a patch to move it to its own "GDB console" view: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/77986
- Round table
- Mikhail is concerned about activity on the debug platform that maybe noone is paying attention on CDT
- When this happens, we should notify the cdt-dev and see if someone can investigate
