Re: [cdt-dev] Multi-process debugging questions
|
Hi,
> 1. Is the a way to automatically attach to child processes when they are spawned by the process being debugged?
I haven't tried with the current support for multi-process. It may work already, but if it does not, my guess is it
will be simple to enable.
> 2. Is the a way to attach to multiple processes using a single GDB instance?
this is what I recently posted when I thought Doug was asking :-)
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg21003.html
Copied below
==
The support for multi-process is being added to HEAD gradually.
This is the bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=237306
First, you must know that you will need GDB 7.2 to do this.
Although GDB 7.1 would have been sufficient, it didn't have the
proper MI commands yet, so we did the work for GDB 7.2.
What is already available is to attach to multiple processes using
a local attach session.
Breakpoints are not properly working yet, but Onur posted a patch
recently, which I'm hoping to look at in the coming few days.
So, launch a local attach session and press the green connect
button in the debug view to keep attaching to new processes.
Those processes have to be running already.
To get a remote attach session we are just missing a prompt to ask
the user where the binary file is. GDB can 'guess' the location for
a local attach session, but not a remote one. This prompt brings up
again the question of how to handle the UI for such cases. I liked
the idea of using different launches as EDC does, but I'm not sure
how that is going to feel. I have an entry on my TODO list to
prototype it, but I don't know when I'll find the time.
Having your opinions on usability will greatly help get this
finalized.
Marc

This is great. Can it also be done from Eclipse with DSF-GDB?
