Their need to be changes in the debugger modules (perhaps the debuggercore) so that multiple debuggers can co-exist which debug the same executables. Currently, if cnd.debugger.gdb and Sun Studio's dbxgui are both loaded and enabled, you get double breakpoints and other misbehavior. When dbxgui supported Java, the same happened for Java sources.
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200811270201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/ea125bef5960 User: Gordon Prieur <gordonp@netbeans.org> Log: Fixed IZ #151788 Make multiple C/C++ debuggers coexist With this commit I can debug using 2 different gdb modules (although the gdb2 module I'm using in testing won't ever be committed). The only known problem is that both gdb and gdb2 put a breakpoint annotation for a toggle breakpoint (I'll fix that separately).
Why is this a task? Chaining it to a defect.
Not a defect definitely, it does not affect existing features at all. Changed to enhancement.
fixed with the introduction of common native breakpoints
