Run Eclipse from command line as GDB frontend [message #1220768]

Hello CDT Guys!
My task is to run Eclipse/CDT from command line (actually, unit test), like DDD or other GDB frontends, in the following way:
1) Start Eclipse/CDT from scratch.
2) Attach to specified application (e.g. by PID, passed in args)
3) Set breakpoint to the specified place (passed in args)

Did anyone perform such tricks?

It can be done with GDB/DDD pretty easily. But with Eclipse... I've already been looking for the approach for about 1.5 years.

Thanks in advance,
With a hope,
Serg.

There is an ongoing effort to have a CDT Sandalone debugger which would do what you are looking for.
But it may be available in the next release of Eclipse (June)
