Debugging and testing libraries [message #748079] Mon, 24 October 2011 09:23 Go to next message

I created a shared library project in Eclipse and now want to test and debug it. Till I find out a better way, I'm creating the test executable that uses my shared library, outside eclipse and debugging it using gdb.

Is there any way that I can debug my library within eclipse by specifying the test executable, or is there a better approach to debugging libraries in Eclipse altogether?

Found the solution after figuring out the correct keywords to be used in google Smile

Run->Debug Configurations->C/C++ Application (project to be debugged should be open).

What remains to be understood is how I can have two executables launched and debugged for example in a multiprocess application, where both the executables use the shared library.

What kind of debugging project did you choose ?

"C/C++ Application" ?

As a matter of fact I'm using multiple debug configurations, one C/C++ Application and another C/C++ Attach to Application. I also found out that as a consequence of wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Roadmap/KernelHardening#ptrace_Protection it is not trivial for me to debug multiple processes as I run Kubuntu 11.10. I had to follow an equivalent of the workaround mentioned over there to be able to finally get it right.
Hopefully someone someday will find this useful.
