enabling CDT to use multiple debuggers [message #24942] Fri, 19 April 2002 10:21 Go to next message

Currently CDT supports only gdb, by hardcoding the launch of gdbPICL.
There was interest manifested on using other debuggers as well, possibly
from various contributors.
We are looking at feedback on where in the UI to surface this choice to the
user:

I can see at least 2 possibilities for debugger invocation:

1) From the launch configurations: we could add a Tab with a few entry
fields for specifying which debugger to launch,
with its attending parameters etc.
2) We could add the choice of debugger in the Project->Properties.

I am inclining towards 2), since in the Project properties wizard there are
already things like "Build Invocation".
Comments, suggestions welcome.

Robert.

Hi,

What is the current status of CDT supporting other debuggers than gdb?
How could I launch another debugger? (Even by changing the code if
really necessary?) What are the difficulties launching another debugger?

Thank you,

Silvia
