Re: [cdt-debug-dev] Using Eclipse for remote debugging
|
Thankyou for your input. Your response was as per my preliminary
understanding about the Eclipse/CDT framework, but all these various emails
about remote debugging capabilities using Eclipse/CDT made me think that
some effort could be underway for a few targeted embedded devices, which
could later be available as separate sets of plugins/features to hook into
Eclipse-CDT for the intended embedded device development.
Are you aware of any such on-going or upcoming effort being made (in either
open-source or commercial community) on implementing plugins to hook into
CDT-Debugger by validating CDI interfaces to support native debugging
capabilities on various embedded device platforms ?
Regards,
Amit Aghara

You can see Eclipse/CDT as a set of framework, an entry point for many
modules.
For example, the CDT/debugger only have the necessary mechanism to work
within Eclipse
debug perspective/model. But the actual implementation of debugging a
native application is
done somewhere else and can be implemented by others via an
extension-point.
It is done this way because the CDT/Debugger has to remain relatively
independent
to be able to support a wide variety of platform.
Eclipse/CDT comes with one default implementation of a native debugger it
is
base on GNU GDB.
All of the functionnality that you are asking are not present in the Open
Source CDT. But
could probably be provided by different ISV(external plugins) that hooked
to the CDT/Debugger.
