[cdt-debug-dev] Communication between Eclipse and gdb

[Rohit Girme <rgirme@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am relatively new to this.
I have added a custom debug option to the gnu debugger similar to step over. I now want to
add a button in Eclipse C/C++ IDE menu bar which will cause this custom
option to execute, just like pressing step over, continue etc causes
that particular option in gdb to execute.
I would like to know what happens when a button is pressed in eclipse like step over button, how does gdb know it has to do step over when that button is pressed in Eclipse.
If I can know this I can do the same for my issue.

I have read about CDI, CDT, MI but I could not understand what needs to be done exactly.

Please guide me for the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You for your time.

Rohit
