How to use CDT debugger. [message #69345]

This must be some sort of newbie error so I am hoping that someone
will set me straight.

When I debug code in the Java perspective I do the following.
1. Create a debug launch configuration.
2. Set the breakpoints in the source code.
3. Launch the debug session
4. Once the code has stopped at the breakpoint I highlight the variable
that I want to inspect and right click.
5. From the drop down menu I select inspect and the information will
appear in the Display view.

When I attempt to do this in CDT I get all the way to the step 5.
The problem is that there is no inspect menu item. I can debug the code
on the command line and show the value of the variables so I know that
the code was created with debugging turned on. I just can't get it to
work within eclipse.

My system consists of the following.
Win2K
Eclipse Version: 2.0.2
Build id: 200211071448
CDT plugin 1.0.1 F1 - Windows
cygwin
gcc GNU gdb 2003-03-03-cvs (cygwin-special)
gdb GNU gdb 2003-03-03-cvs (cygwin-special)

Use the "Run" ->"Add Expression (C/C++)" menu or the "Add Expression" item
of the context menu of C editor.

Either arrange your views so that they can both be visible, or uncheck the
2 'Show when program writes to...' options in 'Window->Preferences->Debug->Console'.

Maybe I am using the wrong version. I don't have the "Add Expression
(C/C++)" item on the "Run" menu. In fact, even when I am debugging
C/C++ code I still have the "Add Java Exception Breakpoint" on the Run menu.

The good news is that there is an add expression on the C editor context
menu so everything works now.

Thanks for your help.

You have to customize your debug perspective to see all C/C++ actions. In
the Debug perspective open "Window"-->"Customize perspective"-->"Other" and
check the "C/C++ Debug" box. In the latest version it is checked by default.
To customize your views open "Window"-->"Preferences"-->"Debug"-->"Debug
Action Groups" and check/uncheck the "C/C++ Debug" and "Java Debug" boxes.
