Sorry I misunderstood the last message.
This is stupid. We can simply add a "--nofork" option and be ready, it would
solve both the debugging- and the debug-output problem. It doesn't matter
whether you tell a user to do "kdevelop > ./output" or "kdevelop --nofork >
./output". That option will cost only 5 lines of code.
Yes, it will use another .kdevduchain dir with the --nofork option, but that
simply doesn't matter, because the duchain dir is wiped anyway after 2
crashes.
And I find it annoying that this subject is brought up again and again.
Changing anything about that is out of discussion in medium-term, as the
relation between effort and potential value is exorbitantly bad.
Greetings, David
