How do we configure C::B to use CDB correctly?
« on: August 15, 2008, 12:31:23 am »
I've looked through the wiki, scoured the boards here, and I can't find an answer to this one.

The debugging plugin states: Plugin that interfaces the GNU GDB and MS CDB debuggers.

I've installed CDB and can get C::B to launch it as the debugger for my project, but the parameters passed to CDB are completely wrong.

Here's a partial dump from the debugger log:
Code
Command-line: N:\Dev\WinDbg\cdb.exe -nx -fullname  -quiet -args bin/Debug/DevTest.exe
Working dir : N:\Dev\Code\DevTest\
> set prompt >>>>>>cb_gdb:
cdb: Invalid switch 'n'
cdb: Invalid switch 'f'
cdb: Invalid switch 'q'
cdb version 6.9.0003.113
usage: cdb [options]
Options:

Looks to me like the debugger plugin thinks that it's dealing with gdb NOT cdb.

I really want to get this working, and from the messages in the forum it looks like I'm far from the only person who does.

Could we get some feedback on how we're going for cdb.exe support, and any clues as what we can do to get it operational in the short term?
