| Re: [cdt-dev] GDB extension not working in CDT 8.4 |
|
Hi Joseph, when IGDBBackend was introduced CDT did not allow to debug multiple processes at once. The idea behind that interface was based on the fact that there was a single set of information (such as the program arguments)
for the entire debug session. When we added support for multi-process debugging, this assumption was no longer valid and some of the calls to IGDBBackend could no longer be used. That interface needs to be revisited to support multi-process properly. This
wasn’t done yet because it also required some multi-process support in the launch configuration, which we don’t have yet. However, this work is in progress (for the launch configuration). For your needs, I think you will need to override DebugNewProcessSequence and massage the parameters there, or you will need to change them in the launch configuration itself. Sorry for the hassle.

On Behalf Of Joseph Henry Upon further reflection, this issue seems to me like a regression of functionality introduced in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=240092. The bug mentioned seems to take great care into making sure that the gdb integration was extensible, and the change to having org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.service.DebugNewProcessSequence.stepSetArguments(RequestMonitor)
not use org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.gdb.service.IGDBBackend.getProgramArguments(), in my mind is a bug. Does anyone else have any comments on this? Joseph Henry. From: Joseph Henry Hi all, I recently wrote and extension to the GDB integration provided with CDT.
The people on this mailing list helped immensely, and I was able to get a GDB over SSH working for eclipse Juno. I have been working on updating our plugin to work with eclipse 8.4 (RC4) and the only problem I have ran into so far is that my gdb session does not work any more. The problem is, is that in Juno the GDB program args were controlled by the IGDBBackend.getProgramArguments, and now in 8.4 the DebugNewProcessSequence.stepSetArguments method just gets the args from the configuration directly. This is
a problem because the args need to be “massaged” a bit for this to work. Any suggestions on how I could get this working?] Thanks, Joseph Henry. |
