[cdt-dev] Use CDT debugger to attach to a running process

[Xuan Chen <xuanchen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This is related to a question I posted
a while ago...

http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg17803.html

I tried the steps now, and had problem
with using CDT debugger to attach a running process (gdbserver version
is 7.1).  The version of CDT I used is 7.0 (probably not the final
driver,  but RC3 or later driver).

Steps:
**********************************************
Run command "gdbserver --multi
:10000" on the host.  I got message "Listening on port 10000".

Create a C/C++ Attach to Application
launch configuration, and click on the hyperlink at the bottom of the Main
page.  Choose GDB (DSF) Attach to Process Launcher option.

Select an existing project.

Swtich to Debugger tab, and choose "gdbserver"
from the Debugger drop down.  I can see the "Connection"
tab now.

Switch to "Connection" tab.
 Change "Type" to TCP.  Enter my host name, and the
Port number, which is 10000, "Apply".  (I did not see any
Connect button in this page).

Click Debug.  But I got error:
"Launching new_configuration has encounter a problem.  Error
while launching command: gdb --verion. "
******************************************

I am not sure why the launching command
is "gdb" here.  It seems to me it used the "GDB debugger"
value from the main page of "Debugger" tab.  Is it the right
behaviour?  Any steps I execute which are not correct here?  Thanks.
