Debugging C++ shared libraries under Linux [message #144829]

I am running eclipse 3.0.2 under Linux kernel 2.6.8 and g++ 3+. I have a
C++ library that is built as a shared object and would like to be able to
debug it as a third party application attaches to it, but have been unable
to do so. Any pointers on the topic is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Well, I am not sure about linux as I am using Windows. However I can say
that I can debug my shared libraries without problem. However one stupid
thing happened when I moved to Eclipse and GNU is that I forgot to build
debug and release versions. If your project properties are not set to
build a debug version then no information will be available for the
debugger to debug the shared library and subsequently you will not be able
to attach yourself to the shared library.

I would suggest the following: Build a minimal shared library with one
function and then create a client console poject that uses the library. A
minimalistic approach. Ensure that all project settings are correct and
start from there.

Good luck,

Stefan
