Comment:
To clarify: The mentioned IDEs have a console window/view. I'm not sure
whether it is even a full-blown TTY. The debugged program certainly won't
survive quitting the IDE. kdbg starts an xterm which it closes when
quitting. So the situation is the same. I.e. being able to resume the
debugged program after quitting the debugger doesn't seem to be a general
expectation. At least when it was started by the debugger.
We could relatively easily get around the restriction, though. A `debug`
command line program could be created that clones debugger's command line
options. It would start Debugger in the background (i.e. not associated
with the TTY). When attaching the debugger to a running program, `debug`
could quit immediately after sending the command line arguments to
Debugger. When a debugged program is to be launched first, `debug` would
launch the debugged program (upon Debugger's request) and continue running
(respectively waiting) until the program quits and Debugger's team window
has been closed (allows restarting the program). Even after quitting
Debugger `debug` would continue until the program terminates. This would
fix the issue this ticket is about.
Regarding Debugger starting a new Terminal, that can certainly be added as
an option.
Anyway, I don't find either restriction (having to run a CLI program with
Debugger from the command line, and not being able to resume a CLI program
when quitting Debugger) that bad. IOW low priority IMO.
