RE: [cdt-dev] Can we use CDT debugger to attach to a running process in

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are a couple of ways to do this using DSF-GDB, CDI or EDC.

Here's how to do it with DSF-GDB:

 

Create a new "C/C++ Attach to Application" launch configuration type, and at the bottom of the tabs you will see a hyperlink.

Click on it and select the "GDB (DSF) Attach to Process Launcher"

In the Debugger tab, select the 'gdbserver Debugger' (instead of the gdb/mi default).

You will then get a 'connection' sub-tab in the Debugger tab to put the IP address and port.

 

You also need to start gdbserver on your remote linux using

 

gdbserver --multi :<port>

Subject: [cdt-dev] Can we use CDT debugger to attach to a running process in remote Linux server?

Hi,

It is probably a user question, instead of a developer question...

Is there a way to attach to a running process (the application I want to debug need a special launch) in remote Linux server using CDT debug support?  Thanks.
