Description Marc Khouzam CLA 2011-12-20 09:57:22 EST 
The method IMIRunControl.isTargetAcceptingCommands() can be used to know if GDB is currently accepting commands.

What if we want to disable a UI button when GDB is not accepting commands?  With this method, we would need to poll.  What is needed is a DSF event to indicate that state of the target accepting command has changed.

This would be useful for Bug 360314.
