Full GDB Console

Controlling GDB through the command-line from within Eclipse has long been a very poor experience. With new support in GDB 7.12, it is now much easier for CDT to provide a full-featured GDB console. This feature is planned for CDT 9.2 for Linux hosts.

Features of full GDB console

The full GDB console provides the user with an identical GDB command-line experience as if GDB was started on a shell

  1. Command history
  2. Line editing
  3. Tab-completion
  4. Smart command repeating
  5. Full synchronization with the Eclipse GUI
