I'm writing a plugin that extends the CDT debugger and am having some problems with debugger startup with my plugin.

Now I'm trying to get a log that shows me the commands that are issued to gdb as well as the responses, including asynchronous notifications like breakpoints.

Looking at the Luna CDT online help, it looks like there are settings under C/C++->Debug->GDB in the General Behavior box mid-frame that look like what I want.

However, in my Luna Eclipse installation, I don't even have a GDB preferences tab. All I have is Breakpoint Actions, Disassembly, Floating Point Memory Renderer, Source Lookup Path and Traditional Memory Rendering

How do I enable gdb command logging?

My build says it is Luna release 4.4.0 build id 20140612-0600 which I think is the final Luna build.

Different preferences are enabled when you first run the debugger. The 'GDB' preference page is for the new debugger integration of CDT. Maybe you are using the old one? You can change those by:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ#How_can_I_choose_another_debugger_integration_for_CDT.3F

Also, the new integration should always show you the gdb traces:

I'm using the DSF debugger implementation, which was the default when I started the debug session.

I did find the console view for the gdb log, which is what I am looking for. I don't know what I did, if anything, to get the GDB preferences to show up in the preferences dialog, but the preferences are there now and weren't there before.

Thanks
