CDT/Debug can handle this well .. but there is room for improvement.
We are currently looking at the framework and  rewriting
part of it to make this better(especially for Multiprocess),
drafts will be posted etc ..

CDT/Debug is as good as the underlying debugger back-end.
If the backe-end is gdb and it fails for some reason, it is
unfair to blame the CDT/Debugger.

There is an icon or the context menu that allows you to switch
the console to the debugger console(GDB in your case).

If you could be more specific that would be good.
