Description Sergey Prigogin CLA 2011-06-27 17:41:32 EDT 
Since users can now configure global defaults for "Stop on startup at main" and "Non-stop mode" (bug 347245), it makes sense to change the out-of-the-box defaults so that they satisfy the majority of users. "Stop on startup at main" should default to false and "Non-stop mode" should default to true.

I think this is a good idea, especially for non-stop. However, we suggest fixing Bug 348091 before.

Since this was already proposed on the mailing list and created some discussions, can you post your intention to the list for transparency?  I'll second your proposal.

Non-stop doesn't work on Windows and Mac though, so I would not agree with that. Maybe we can find a way to make it the default only on Linux or ignore the non-stop option on Windows and Mac. Right now, I get errors "Error in final launch sequence" on Windows and "Non-stop mode is only supported starting with GDB 6.8.50" on Mac.

Forgot to add "The target does not support running in non-stop mode" for Windows.

Woops, that is a very good point.  Thanks for mentioning it.

I like the idea of having the default for Linux only.

-1 for changing defaults for main
Comment 7 Marc-André Laperle CLA 2012-04-30 01:13:16 EDT 
So...should we mark this as WONTFIX? At least we have preferences now.
