How to connect to a process and/or core dump ? [message #740473] Tue, 18 October 2011 14:53 Go to next message

Hi all,

Am a newbie to eclipse (come from MSDev) but am impressed so far, seems a great IDE.

I have created a basic multi-threading app that goes into a deadlock (on purpose!). I can run and suspend it in the debugger OK and view the various thread stacks. I now want to try to run it up from the command line and connect to it in the debugger to simulate debugging a currently running app that has got itself into a state. I presume I just need to hit the 'connect to a process' button on the Debug view but it never seems to be available to select ? How do I get it available ?

Also, presuming I have an app core dump (or force one with a kill pid sig call which I believe is possible) is it possible to connect the debugger to the core so I can see the state the app was in ?

Many thanks.

OK, managed to connect to a running process by selecting the Run->Debug Configuration->App to connect to and then hitting the Debug button and selecting the app. Still don't see why the connect to button was not available ?

Is it possible to connect to a core ?

I personally never used this button. Using Run->Debug Configuration->App to connect to is the correct way.

Run->Debug Configuration->Postmortem debugger
