Using Valgrind with gdb in Eclipse [message #875997]

Hello!

I can't find how to use Valgrind with gdb in Eclipse.
Is it available or will it be available?

Thank you for help and attention.

If you are talking about Valgrind's ability to kick off gdb on the fly and you want Eclipse debugger views to come up automatically, this is not supported and there are no plans in place to implement it. You can open an RFE in bugzilla to denote your interest in this functionality and also so someone can review what would be required to implement it and whether it is feasible.

Thank you for quick answer!
BTW,
I found useful solution using valgrind 3.7.0 with Eclipse/gdb. It is allow me to view all variables and stack on valgrind errors.

That's exactly what I would need! What was your solution? Smile

Valgrind 3.7.0+ can be launched like gdb server and you can connect to it with gdb/Eclipse.

You can launch valgrind like gdbserver - please google "valgrind and gdb" and then use Eclipse/gdb to connect to it like Remote debugging, launch Debug session and if valgrind event was occured it sends the signal to Eclipse/gdb and it shows call stack and local/global variables. So some time ago it was useful for me, but now i am using this configuration rarely - got some skills to find errors just by call stack and valgrind event name. Smile

I am not able to attach Eclipse to the Valgrind gdbserver. According to http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/manual-core-adv.html#manual-core-adv.gdbserver-gdb
I should use

target remote | vgdb

This works on the gdb command line. But I don't know how to do this in the Remote Debug Configuration in Eclipse.
