Re: [cdt-dev] how to launch a specific gdb

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For DSF-GDB, you have to use

IGDBLaunchConfigurationConstants.ATTR_DEBUG_NAME which is org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.DEBUG_NAME

IGDBLaunchConfigurationConstants.ATTR_GDB_INIT which is org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.GDB_INIT

 

My apologies for this confusion but it dates back to when DSF-GDB was not part of CDT.

You can write a but about aligning the CDI and DSF launch constants so we can eventually fix this.

Subject: [cdt-dev] how to launch a specific gdb

Hello,
I added some functionality to the gdb (version 7.0) and i would like to use it when i launch the debugger. The problem is that it doesn't work.
I created a launch configuration and set the DEBUG_NAME and GDB_INIT attributes:
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.DEBUG_NAME  =  /home/shai/Desktop/gdb/gdb
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.GDB_INIT  =  /home/shai/Desktop/gdb/gdbinit.in 

now i launch it:
DebugUITools.launch(configuration, mode);

but it launches the wrong gdb (i know because it is gdb version 7.2).
could anyone tell what I missed??

note: my debug configuration has no preferred delegate, but i think it not necessary to run my extended gdb.

Thanks,
Shai
