Is there any support for debugging exceptions using GDB catchpoints under
Linux? If not, how can exceptions be debugged? When using Visual
Studio.net under Windows, you can control the debugger behavior to change
the way the debugger handles exceptions or categories of exceptions. I am
sorely missing this functionality in Eclipse...

Regards,

Laurence

Unfortunately, there is no support for the exceptions debugging in the
current version of CDT.

There is no GUI support. But you can use the GDB console. To do that bring
the GDB console to front while your program is stopped (in a breakpoint).
Put the cursor in the last (empty) line (important) and type

catch throw

you should then see output like this to cnfirm that you have set the
catchpoint.

Catchpoint 3 (throw)

Happy debugging!
