Interface ISuspendTrigger
-
public interface ISuspendTrigger
A suspend trigger notifies listeners when a launch suspends at a context
where debugging should begin. For example, when a breakpoint is encountered.
The debug platform retrieves a suspend trigger from each registered launch
and listens to suspend notifications in order to initiate debug sessions - i.e.
switch to the desired perspective, activate the debug view, etc., based on user
preferences. The debug platform asks each registered launch for its suspend
trigger adapter or registers with the launch itself if it implements
ISuspendTrigger.
It is important that the same instance of a suspend trigger adapter is
returned each time it is asked for the same object, such that listeners
can be added and removed from the same instance. When a listener is removed
and no more listeners are registered, this trigger can be disposed or replaced
with a new adapter the next time one is requested.
Clients may implement this interface. The debug platform provides a suspend trigger
adapter for implementations of ILaunch. The implementation provided by
the platform is based on a standard debug model that fires debug events. Clients
wishing to provide their own implementation must also provide their own implementation
of ILaunch (or subclass of Launch), in order to register
their suspend trigger adapter.
