[cdt-debug-dev] Debugging native apps

Most of the native apps I work on already have an existing 
build procedure that isn't going to change. 

I find that I launch Insight rather than CDT as a debug GUI for these
projects.

The reason used to be that Insight worked better + it was easier to
launch.
 
The biggest hurdle is currently that it is too much hazzle to launch CDT
for a "tiny debug session". I don't want the whole store, I just want a
GDB GUI frontend.

E.g.:

$ insight --args foo 


Q: Doesn't Eclipse support all the infrastructure to allow writing an
"Eclipse CDT command line wrapper"?

Essentially this wrapper would:

- Create an empty dummy CDT project. CDT needs a project to be happy.
- Create an ephemeral debug session 
- Launch debugger

The ephemeral debug session should be configurable via command line
options to the "Eclipse CDT command line wrapper"


Comments?

Like? 

Hate? :-)
