GDB Developer Tool (GDT) is a developer script to quickly and easily debug a core file or remote target. It's essentially a wrapper around GDB that can automatically attach to a remote process and generate GDB's "solib-search-path" and "dir" options for you.
- Debug a remote process
- Debug a local core file
- python 2.7
You are able to customize certain parts of GDT. All configuration can be found in config.json and gdbinit.
This file contains path and target configurations. The following can be customized:
- gdb_path - full path to the GDB executable
- project_root_path - path to the project's root directory
- symbol_root_path - path to root symbol directory
- excluded_dir_names - names of directories to be excluded from solib path and source path generation (ex. .svn, .git, .vscode, etc.)
- target_ip - the target's IPv4 address
- target_user - the target's username
- target_password - the target's password
- target_debug_port - the port to connect GDB
- target_prompt - the target's command line prompt
This file contains GDB commands to automatically execute during GDB startup. Feel free to add any custom routines or commands here.
