Change source code in debug mode and continue debugging [message #757186] Wed, 16 November 2011 21:15 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi,

I would like to learn how to change source code while in debug mode and continue to debug.

I have CDT 8.0 and JVM 1.6.0_26.

What I have done so far is that in the middle of my debugging, I rebuild, and move to the line I want to check.

However, I can't see the updated changes in the Expression window.

Thanks

That's not possible for a compiler language like C/C++. This can only be done for an interpreter language like Java.

Not quite true, MSVC supports Edit and Continue, but with reasonable limitations. Any support of such feature in GNU toolchain?

The key word for this feature is "incremental compilation".
Maybe you could help implement this for GCC. :-)
