Asked 9 years, 4 months ago modified 1 year, 3 months ago viewed 65k times According to the documentation these checks include catching segmentation faults by default The advantage here is that you get a stack trace similar to gdb's output, but without running the program inside a debugger Is it supposed to generate some more files to help debugging with gdb Running gdb a.exe gives message File format not recognized and starts (gdb) command prompt
Running (gdb) break main gives no symbol table is loaded Running (gdb) start gives the same no symbol table is loaded. When using attach to an existing process, the debugger finds the program running in the process, looking first in the current working directory, or (if not found there) using the source file search path (see the directory command) You can also use the file command to specify the program, and to load its symbol table. 226 my program operates like this How do i analyze a core dump file in this situation?
But there gui based tool ddd (data display debugger) which is same as gdb U have a console in the bottom to run gdb commands and top 3/4th portion would be the code. For a detailed backtrace use bt full Use up n and down n commands to select frame n frames up and select frame n frames down respectively. At least when running on linux, vscode does debugging by invoking a debugger (gdb or lldb) as a separate process, the path to which is specified as midebuggerpath ain a file named launch.json Gdb launch config as given in the other answer (s)
In order to get code browsing and stuff working, it's important to have the source directories in sync on the local and remote side.
