GeanyGDB is a plugin for Geany which provides integrated debugging support
13
within Geany via the GNU Debugger (gdb).
15
Geany is a small and lightweight integrated development environment using the
18
The GNU Debugger is a source-level debugger for C, C++, Fortran, Modula 2 and
21
It was developed and tested on openSUSE-10.3 with GDB-6.7.50. Other recent
22
versions of GDB will probably work, but operating systems other than Linux-PC
23
will not work, at least not without some considerable hacking.
28
The current stable GeanyGDB release is |(version)|.
33
For compiling the plugin yourself, you will need the GTK (>= 2.8.0) libraries
34
and header files. You will also need its dependency libraries and header
35
files, such as Pango, Glib and ATK. All these files are available at
38
And obviously, you will need have Geany installed. If you have Geany installed
39
from the sources, you should be ready to go.
40
If you used a prepared package e.g. from your distribution you probably need
41
to install an additional package, this might be called geany-dev or geany-devel.
42
Please note that in order to compile and use this plugin, you need Geany 0.16
45
Furthermore you need, of course, a C compiler and the Make tool.
46
The GNU versions of these tools are recommended.
51
See the file `INSTALL <INSTALL.html>`_ for more information.
56
There is no real documentation, but if you hover your mouse over the buttons
57
in the "Debug" sidebar panel in Geany the tooltips should give you some idea
58
of what to do next. There are also a few "rough draft" notes below:
60
Most of the console output from GDB is sent to the "Compiler" message window
61
in Geany, and you can send standard commands to GDB using the "Console" entry
62
on the debug sidebar. This should be used with caution, since GDB's machine
63
interface and console interface don't always play well together.
65
Also note that the plugin sets its own internal breakpoint #1 to grab the
66
program's PID on startup, so any user-specified breakpoint numbers begin
67
at #2, and if you manually delete the #1 breakpoint it will likely cause
70
Whenever the target program hits a breakpoint or encounters a segfault etc.
71
it will try to open the appropriate source file and jump to the correct line.
73
To examine the state of the program's variables, you can click on the "Stack"
74
button in the debug sidebar. Note that the interaction between the plugin and
75
the debugger can sometimes be quite slow, so please be patient when waiting
76
for the dialogs to open.
78
The "Add breakpoint", "Add watchpoint", and "Run to" dialogs will try to
79
suggest some values based on your current position in whatever file you
80
have open in Geany, but if you don't like the choice, just click the "Clear"
81
button and type in whatever you please.
83
The plugin tries to enable only the buttons that are relevant to the current
84
state, but ocassionally it might end up getting things wrong. If this happens,
85
you should be able to click the "Unload" button and everything will be reset.
87
If you try to unload the plugin using the plugin manager while it has a
88
program loaded, the plugin manager might appear to hang for a few seconds,
89
while GDB tries to shut down. Again, just be patient, but note that it is
90
much better use the "Unload" button in the debug sidebar before trying to
