Title: GDB Debugging Enhancement?
Post by: timberwofl on October 23, 2007, 03:22:40 pm: Sorry, I'm new to this forum but not new to Code::Blocks and had a suggestion / question. Would it be possible to add a small addition to the gdb configuration? Using a QNX debugger requires the additional parameter of "--debugger" to be set to one of QNX's *-gdb.exe"s before entering GDB initialization commands. I was thinking it would be useful to have the ability to pass a command line arguement or two to GDB. Of course I could be either A) missing something, or B) in the wrong forum... :)

Thanks for the great work so far!

Settings > Compilers and debugger > Toolchain executables > Debugger.

However, might I say that I would not have looked under Compiler Settings for the debugger that I want to use when the Debugger Settings section is right there as well. I do appreciate the assistance, and thank you. Again, Code::Blocks has everything you need (just need to look for it, right?)
