debuging with idbc

[darmar]

I am interesting in the use of Intel's debugger with C::B. I tried to use "idbc" debugger with option -gdb, which imitates the commands of GDB debugger. Theoretically should be possible to use idbc instead of gdb without any changes (except of adding option -gdb). Unfortunately, the C::B becomes unresponsive after the start of debugger plugin.

I looked into the code of plugin. Debugger plugin uses prompt "cb_gdb:" to find an end of command output. But the problem is that plugin doesn't catch this prompt when idbc is used (C::B uses the wxProcess object for this purpose).

Could somebody explain why the prompt "cb_gdb:" is not caught in idbc case?

Can you post the full debug log of the debugger.
The debug log is not enabled by default and you should enable it in 'Settings -> Compiler & Debugger-> Debugger -> Debugger's debug log'.

And keep in mind that the idbg should produce the same output to the commands as gdb,
if the output format is different a new debugger plugin should be written to implement correct communication with idbg.

Also we have a branch, where we have done many improvements to the debugging in C::B, you can check it out, it is named wxpropgrid_debugger.

Thanks for reply.

I understand this.

I will test this branch.

As I said, I can't understand, why "cb_gdb:" prompt is not caught. I think that problem is with wxProcess not with C::B. Could it be?
Below is debug log of the debugger. Because  "cb_gdb:" prompt is not caught, C::B never comes to the second command in the queue. If I debug a test program using command line in the terminal, the output of gdb and idbc debuggers looks the same.

Is this the whole log?
What about pasting the log from a fully working command line session with idbc?
