Hi,
As the subject line says, can Lazarus IDE's debugger attach to a already
running process? The running process is a program compiler earlier with
Lazarus IDE. I know GDB [via CLI] can do this, but can you do it via the
Lazarus IDE, so I have "visual debugging"?
Yes it can, but you mus know the PID. Lazarus will just ask for the pid.
Open the project, so you have the sources, then in the "run" menu you
find the attach command. It will take 2 or 3 secs, and then popup an
input for the pid
If one can, how do I do it?
Reason I ask:
In Delphi it is a common way to debug CGI applications. You define an
infinite loop in the CGI app. Execute the CGI app via the web browser.
The infinite loop then gives you a change to attach the Delphi debugger.
You then modify the variable of the infinite loop so it exits the loop.
You can then step through the CGI application like any normal GUI or
Console app. This is much easier than debugging with log files etc.
If you use an integer var, you can modify it from the IDE.
Do not modify managed types
