Description Greg Watson CLA 2010-06-07 22:53:37 EDT
It should be possible to disable the debugger tab for non-debug jobs.
Comment 1 Greg Watson CLA 2010-07-22 13:09:26 EDT
It would be nice if the controls on this tab were disabled for a run configuration and enabled for a debug configuration and a debug launch was only allowed when the tab had been configured correctly.

Sorry for overlooking this. What do you think about the idea to build sdm for the most common platforms (e.g. linux x32/x64/ppc + aix/ppc) and automatically upload it. Should I open a new bug for this?
(Since the main part of doing this is the build, it would have to be done by someone with build server access - so I can't volunteer to just quickly do it)
Comment 4 Greg Watson CLA 2010-07-22 15:21:08 EDT
Open a bug on it. It's a bit of a logistical headache, and we'd need volunteers to maintain the different platforms, but worth thinking about. We used to distribute proxy binaries, but that was a nightmare due to different API and O/S version combinations. The SDM doesn't use anything except standard O/S interfaces, so it should be relatively more portable.
Comment 5 Albert L. Rossi CLA 2010-12-13 12:38:26 EST
The main problem has been fixed.  You should only see the debug-related tabs when you choose a debug rather than run configuration.

Sorry.  That fix was for 5.0.  This has not been ported back to 4.0.
Comment 7 Albert L. Rossi CLA 2011-05-09 15:38:58 EDT
I am closing this bug.  It's a "wontfix" for 4.0, but has been fixed in 5.0.
