Hi Anton,
That code was written a long time ago (2004) -
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=30779
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=30779> - so it may be
difficult to get any first hand knowledge of the answer.
When the code was first written that job (EventDispatchJob) would have
nothing to do if there were no listeners as the job was only
dispatching events to listeners.
Then in 2007 - see comment in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=178902#c2
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=178902#c2> - the same
job was used to handle the event queue and asyncExec queue.
My best guess is that no one noticed until now as in (almost!) all
debug sessions there will be at least one listener.
I recommend you submit a bug & gerrit that simply removes the
optimization in shouldSchedule. And as a workaround in the meantime,
you could add a dummy listener (DebugPlugin.addDebugEventListener) in
your TCF session.
I hope that helps and let us know if the above solves your problem.
Jonah

Hi,
I have a question about the scheduling mechanism in
org.eclipse.debug.core.DebugPlugin.
This code in particular:
/public boolean shouldSchedule() {//
// return !(isShuttingDown() ||
fEventListeners.isEmpty());//
// }/
Why does the DebugPlugin need to have EventListeners registered in
order to schedule runnables?
Our use case is a debugger based on TCF. It uses the
RunToLineAdaper from CDT, with an adapter from TCF, in order to
perform a Run To Line action.
In CDT, this code will, through a few steps, end up calling the
shouldSchedule() above:
/private void runInBackground(Runnable r) {//
// DebugPlugin.getDefault().asyncExec(r);//
// }/
There are no EventListeners related to the DebugPlugin regarding
Run To Line in TCF, which makes me confused.
Run To Line just so happens to work if, and only if, I have the
Memory View open, since it has EventListeners registered on the
DebugPlugin. But those listeners are unrelated to Run To Line.
Perhaps I need to reach out to the TCF or CDT mailing list, but
for starters I would be happy if someone could explain why the
shouldSchedule() function looks like it does.
Best regards,
