Description Fitzner CLA 2006-04-28 11:42:43 EDT
Trying to start the gdb debugger via Eclipse CDT you will get the following error message: "Program is a not recognized executable."
I fear the reason for that problem is that one is able to choose an AIX XCOFF32 Parser only - there should be an AIX XCOFF3264 Parser or so.
(Project -> Properties for ..-> C/C++ Make Project -> Binary Parser -> AIX XCOFF32 Parser)
I would like to develop 64 bit code on AIX with gcc. This works fine but debugging does not work
because the executables are in AIX XCOFF64 format and the binary parsers support AIX XCOFF32 bit format only.

Actually that would be an enhancement request. We do not claim to support 64-bit AIX.

You should be able to still select the executable and force the debugger to start with it.  It just won't be automatically suggested to you.

Without the binary parser though, adding global variables to the variables view won't work.
