Compile w/o Run?

Is "Compile with/without Debugger" supposed to also Run, or can it be considered a bug?
Would be useful for a tool like
this (at least on Mac)

Yes. It's always done that for me. Yours doesn't?

IMHO, it shouldn't, because there is Run (and Compile/Run)… and compiling only can be useful (the two Compile-Only should also be included as triggering event for IDE tools)

Oh, I see what you mean. We have "Compile/Run" (or F5) that includes the debugger, but then "Compile with debugger" also does that. Never noticed before.

Yes, "Compile/Run" depends on the check on the "Use Debugger" menu, or on the status of the Debugger "button" on toolbar…
So I think this can be called a bug, and I also hope it will be easy to implement the triggering events for IDE tools (I think making the existing "Compile/Run" events to work also with compile-only would suffice)

Yeah, I never really paid any attention to those options myself. I am so used to using the compile/run and use debugger icons in the toolbar. Those options in the system menu are just extraneous items for me. Only thing I need in that menu is 'compiler options' and 'create executable'.
