Good idea, but for desktop cross-platform development it is much easier to use Qt Creator; if I have to create separate project in Visual Studio to debug with GDB, it will not give any advantage. When I develop cross-platform C++ application, I have Visual Studio project for Windows and Qt Creator one for Linux. If I can debug on Linux directly from traditional Visual C++ project, it will be very useful feature.

Oct 23, 2012. The Remote Server registers the serial number of the locally connected J-Link at the Tunnel Server. Now the Tunnel Server is able to provide access to this J-Link via the Internet using its serial number. When a debugger or any other tool using the J-Link DLL connects with the Tunnel Server and requests a.

If I anyway have to support 2 projects, what is advantage against Qt Creator, Eclipse, etc, i. What is advantage against native Linux tools? I tried this with a centos machine. A few things I see: The gdb command doesn't accept quoted path names: e.g if you have your putty in 'c:program files (x86.' I had to revert back to using c:progra~2 The quoted command does work for the build command lines, i.e.

When adding the plink commands Also, the breakpoint wasn't hit. I.e using the a simple test program (Hello world.

Type) I could copy and build and actually invoke the debugger, but the Bp wasn't hit, it just ran through. The target linux machine did have a gdb 7. Something (mathing with the gcc 4.81 toolset) Anything I'm missing? The next thing would be getting Intellisense to point to the right linux files. Having to specify each source file to copy over can be painful via the NMake build command.

Are there plans to simplify this, especially considering that MSBuild can easily collect all the source files and required header files already? Perhaps you can add a 'Copy to Remote Command' which gets invoked for each source file where you can do something like: pscp.exe -i $(PrivateKey) $(CurrentSourcePath)$(CurrentSourceFile) $(RemoteUserName)@$(RemoteHostName):$(RemoteWorkingDirectory)/$(CurrentSourceFile). @Steve thanks!

I struggle with how much to paramaterize here. I like how you worked around this, the only spot I saw so far as a feature was the string to invoke gdb where I often need sudo. I'll follow up with an explanation of how the params are turned into the connection so you can deterministicly add options we have not exposed. @benpye shoot me a mail at mgoodner my employer.com if you'd like to talk more about micro controller support, especially if you could test prerelease bits.

@Vitaliy that is good feedback. So your cross platform work is in C++ and built for Windows and Linux?

Are you cross compiling for any of those targets or are you always building the source with a toolchain on the target OS? @Peter I'll look into that. I've got a lot on my plate right now with C stuff so it may be a while before I have anything to report there.

Feel free to ding me about it on twitter @robotdad esp during Dec when I'll be off and hacking on side projects @robin I'm spinning up a centos machine now to see if there is anything there. Regarding spaces in paths that should be fine, but on the NMake tab they should be surrounded by quotes. @jose working on it!:-). I got it working for my setup! Some lessons I learned along the way: 1. Do not quote your paths: 'C:Foo_VM.ppk' and so forth. I entered them like that because I Shift-rightclicked the files in question and used the Copy-as-Path option.

But that causes a pretty nasty error along the lines of: 'Unable to start debugging. Launch options string provided by the project system is invalid.' There was a codepage problem somewhere inbetween VS, plink and the remote server. I do not know whether I fixed it at the correct/ideal location, but setting the exporting a LC_ALL variable on the remote side before doing anything else solved my problems in a satisfactory enough manner. For example, my Build Command Line is configured as follows: 'C:ProgramsPuttyplink.exe' jw@devBuntu -i D:keysdevBuntu.prv.ppk 'export LC_ALL='POSIX';cd /home/jw/dev/myapp/src';make The debug messages of my app are primarily in the ASCII range, so I haven't seen any issues there with the actual debug process, but I'd love to know whether it is an issue and if so, what the best way to solve that is. Good luck everyone! I am trying to get this working with a short Linux program on a Raspberry Pi, and I am having all kinds of problems.

For example, my code has this: #include But when I try a build, VS has no idea where to find mqueue.h. This happens even if I replace with the full path name for that file. It feels like none of the Linux environment variables are set correctly. A regular Linux of the same project runs fine. I probably have many of the project properties set incorrectly. Examples of how to handle all the various things under VC++ Directories would be useful. I've tried this using a STM32 discovery board (a plain embedded target) and openocd but without any success.

The VS debugger just hangs waiting for the target to halt. When I did it manually via gdb I had to give the command 'monitor reset halt' before doing anything else so I guess adding that would resolve the issue. So far I haven't found a way to do that though.:( Has anyone succeeded to debug a similar target? Maybe the the code is available so I can add an entry for an initial gdb command? What is missing: – CRLF->LF conversion – automatic file synchronization between local/remote folders (could be automatic for all files included to project, but need to have some optimization for large projects, like you can assume remote has up-to-date copy of local and copy only locally changed files, and make menu option for manual 'full' synchonization) – coredump debugging (must have!!!!) – detailed options page for SSH – 'Remote Build Command' which does not require entering $(SecureShell), so just need to write like 'make.

' – the same as if you'd do that in some native Linux IDE, like KDevelop. SSH command should be some fixed pre-configured one (on the SSH config tab I've mentioned above) And what generally nice to see in Visual Studio – Multiple Run configuration within one Build configuration. Nice to see a begin being made. Hopefully you will get soon a version able to handle embedded targets not running linux. We write our own rtos' kernels and complete applications from the scratch on our devices.

Currently we use visual studio with nmake to generate our elf/binaries and gdb(arm/mips/x86/x64) to connect to the gdbstub on the target device, via serial port or remote(tcp). By selecting LocalGDB, I was able to make the connection with the target but there is no way to instruct gdb to inject the elf executable ( gdb load command ) so: It would be nice to see an option to load script commands to gdb so when gdb gets the elf binary with the command line, after the remote command, call load, or insert breakpoints before go.

Our gdb stubs in our targets are multitask capable, is this the MIEngine able to switch tast stacks? Great Work!!! A little bit of tweaking would go a long way though. I am trying to use this as a debugger frontend that connects to a build/debug machine that runs gdb (with target remote option enabled) which in turn connects through tcp to a deployed appliance that runs gdbserver attached to the final target process that I am trying to debug.

This is a fairly common scenario of debugging servers as it requires only gdbserver on the remote machine and stripped production code there, while all the symbols, unstrapped executable and the source code are on a build machine and visual studio debugger is replacing manual gdb from that machine. The problem is that visual studio is trying to run set target-async on in gdb after gdb connected to the gdbserver which is already attached to the debugged process. That causes: Cannot change this setting while inferior is running, which is self explanatory. However I can pass to gdb the setting set target-async on manually, in the command line (optin -x or -ex) but still visual studio will try to send it again afterwards causing the debugger to conk out due to gdb error. That would be useful if a the sending of the target-async could be manually controlled as that would enable gdbserver workflows. Another minor niggle would be a way in the template UI/XAML to specify custom ssh ports as plink & co takes the ports as -P argument rather than ip_addr:port format. It is useful for reverse ssh tunnels when we try to create a tunnel from the remote machine to the visual studio that tunnels port xxxx to port 22(ssh) on that remote machine.

Specifying port xxxx without a batch file to plink is impossible now, me thinks. I finally got this to work! But I also want to comment on the fact that you'll get a nasty error when quoting paths in the 'Environment variables' under the Debugging tab, as jw also reported. It renders an error 'Unable to start debugging. Launch string provided by the project system is invalid. 'D' is an unexpected token.

Expected white space. Nokia Installer Download. Line 2, position 101.' Where 'D' is the first letter in the path with quotes in. You can pt quotes in the NMake Build Command Line, but it also resulted in problems. The solution I settled for was to put my Private SSH Key file in a place with no spaces in the path. Maybe this issue would be something to look into? It will for sure cause problems for users.

This is a very nice tool. However, some comments: – When I had both VS2015 and VS2013 on my box I ran into issues with the extension where I got HRESULT errors. Looking at the log output it seemed like it might have a been an issue between Windows SDK 8.0 and 8.1 having the same ID? I'm not really sure since I don't even use those SDKs.

I finally gave up having them try to co-exist and uninstalled VS2013 – Ditto the comment above about needing a nice way to set the port. I'm using a local VM on a different port and I had to misuse the UI by putting the port command in with the private key:) – A few comments from my coworker who is also using a local VM but did not have all the files on his windows host: – He had issues when stepping from the process he was debugging into a shared library. He said it just stepped over that library call instead of prompting for the file to step into – He also had the same issue when stepping into templated stl code – He switched to VisualGDB since it has support for (automatically) copying the files from the Linux machine to his Windows box and hasn't had any issues (that's not something I need but it should probably be an option). I’ve been writing a Raspberry Pi GPIO application and this has been absolutely invaluable. I couldn’t have gotten my application written anywhere near as quickly or easily without this.

I made a couple of adaptations to getting it working for Raspberry Pi and I changed the settings to use a Makefile for building my app instead of compiling it through a command line single-source file solution, I also use a cross-compiler on my PC rather than compiling remotely – but the debugging features (as well as the nice ideas of deployment!) are brilliant. Application output window in VS doesn’t work perfectly, carriage returns don’t seem to function correctly but that’s just a little niggle really. This is excellent – I applaud your efforts! Thanks very much:). Hey David, Do you mind share how you make this to cross-compile on WIndows?

I have a device which the manufacturer gives us the toolchain for windows so we can cross-compile to linux with it Also, there is a new extension just announced today on //Build which suppose to debug on linux but, I can only see it building on target machine however, in my case, the target machine doesn’t have build tools, it only has GDB for debug and we can’t install build tools there. @MSFT guys who worked on this, gratz!

Really nice stuff! Finally I managed to make it work, mostly. Several bugs (and missing features) remain: 1. When I detach (Debug >>Detach all) the target continues running, but Visual Studio remains the debugging window arrangement and all the menus options under the Debug menu are grayed out.

If I close Visual Studio and reattach everything seems to work, until I detach. That screws up the target too. Now it’s stuck and there’s nothing I can do. When I close Visual Studio the target closes. (That is, detach didn’t really detach.) 3. There’s no real option to connect to a remote gdbserver and *NOT* run an executable. Argus Developer Keygen Photoshop. I managed to hack it out, but it’s very possible that’s why I got the aforementioned two bugs.

I just want to connect. There’s no way (unless I missed something) to directly interacts with GDB. But Sometimes I want to use the console (just like I do with WinDbg, for example). No way to set access (hardware) breakpoints. No way to get Intel syntax instead of AT&T. Not that problems 5 and 6 would be solved automatically by resolving issue 4.

I’d appreciate a comment on these issues. @Marc Goodner – MSFT I’m an open source developer, which mostly work with Visual Studio to create binary add-ons (shared libraries) for all platforms that Kodi supports.

I really like Visual Studio and I was very happy to read your post about the VS GDB Debugger extension. In my view it will push Visual Studio to the next level and make cross platform development less painful. I’m using VirtualBox and Ubuntu for developing binary addons. Instead of manually copying the sources to the VM with “pscp.exe”, I stored them on a samba share and mapped a Windows network drive to this share.

Consequently I can access the sources in my VM and in Windows without much effort. Furthermore I created a script on my VM that builds the binary addon Makefiles with CMake and starts the build. So far I can trigger a build and launch Kodi through Visual Studio. To get this working I added this “export DISPLAY=:0.0;gdb” to the option “Remote Debugger Executable”, which starts Kodi as a local process in my VM.

All is working except that the debugger doesn’t stop at breakpoints in my shared library. The Visual Studio output window shows these error messages: Stopped due to shared library event (no libraries added or removed) Stopped due to shared library event: Inferior loaded /home/user/sources/xbmc_Jarvis/addons/visualization.pictureit/visualization.pictureit.so Loaded ‘/home/user/sources/xbmc_Jarvis/addons/visualization.pictureit/visualization.pictureit.so’ Stopped due to shared library event (no libraries added or removed) Stopped due to shared library event: How can I register my shared library at your extension. I guess this is the only missing step to get it working and start debugging my binary addons through Visual Studio. Hi I’m really looking forward to giving this a go. I have currently used batch files with Cygwin and a makefile project to synchronise, build and run on a remote Linux platform, but having debugging abilities will be really useful. However, when I try to create GDB project with this extension I get the following error dialog Microsoft visual Studio X Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

And no new project is created. Any ideas what the problem might be?

I’m using Visual Studio Community 2015 Version 14.0.23107.0 D14REL on Windows 10. Actually, my post above was slightly wrong. It turns out the sln and vcxprj files are created, but not opened properly immediately after creation. If I try to load the.sln file it opens, but shows 0 projects. If I try to open the vcxprj file with VS2015, I get the same error as above.

However if I double click it then it opens in VS2012 (I have 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015 installed), but nothing really works. I see an assets filter in the solution explorer with.xaml files that I guess are supposed to define the property pages above, but the files don’t actually appear to exist.
