Your assessment is correct. The debugger classes in CDT talk to GDB via pipes, but there is still debugger logic in these classes. Part of what these contain is logic to figure out whether or not any path information passed to GDB needs to be massaged on account of the GDB being CygWin based. Since the plugin claims that the GDB that comes with MSPGCC is *not* CygWin based, then none of this translation happens. That's my best guess at this time as to why you're having problems.
You can turn on trace information for the org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core plugin, that should output a dump of the mi1 commands and responses to the console. You'll have to create a .options file inside the plugin's directory with a line that says "org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core/debug=true" in it. I *think* that if you're not debugging Eclipse then this will just spit the output to the console, but I've only used it when debugging using Eclipse to debug itself. If you're using Eclipse to self-debug then the PDE makes this easier for you (you can just turn on tracing for the plugin in its launch configuration), but debugging Eclipse is a long topic and left as an exercise for the reader. BTW there is a trick to getting an updated plugin to actually affect any changes if the version number of the plugin hasn't changed. Since the plugins you are using don't have an update site or anything you're probably safe to simply cheat and upversion the plugin. ___________________________________________ Chris Recoskie Software Designer Texas Instruments, Toronto http://eclipse.org/cdt > -----Original Message----- > From: mspgcc-users-ad...@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:mspgcc-users- > ad...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of jim > Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2005 9:38 PM > To: mspgcc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: RE: [Mspgcc-users] Mspgcc + eclipse CDT 3.0/Eclipse 3.1 > > I think we're talking about two different parts.
