This a page for discussing content of the CDT:_Debug:_Catchpoints_support page. See Wikipedia Talk Page Guidelines for guidelines on editing this page.
Workflow & UI
I think putting the add breakpoint command into the breakpoint view context menu violates some Eclipse UI guidelines. The proper place to place this action would be in the Run top level menu. That said, JDT breaks this rule also by placing the "Add Java Exception Breakpoint" action into the breakpoints view toolbar.
IMO, we should try to define a new retargetable action for "Add exception breakpoint" and collaborate with Java to use it as well.

Catchpoint contributions
This is what BreakpointExtension mechanism would be useful for. -Pawel.piech.windriver.com 15:44, 9 April 2008 (EDT)
Isn't it more on core side? I was thinking more of ui control for specifics arguments. Can you elaborate on that?
