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

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to assume you are using a relatively recent GDB version (say 6.8 or more) because the --multi option

is not available in older GDBs.

 

run gdbserver like this

 

gdbserver --multi :10000

 

no need for --attach.

 

Then, in DSF-GDB, after you have connected to your target, you can click the 'connect' button which is

on the debug view bar.  Depending on the GDB version you may get a list running processes on your

target.  You can select the one you want.  If you don't get a list, you'll be prompted for a pid, and you

can put the current pid on the target e.g., 6700)

Thanks for the information, Marc.

Some additional newbie questions regarding to using DSF-GDB:

I tried the following:
In the Connection sub-tab, I chose the connection type as "TCP", and for Host name or IP address, I put in the remote linux server name, and a random number (10000) in the Port number entry field.

Then in  my linux server, I typed command like this:
gdbserver --multi :10000 --attach 6700

Are these the right steps?  

Thanks,

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>

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.
