Starting with Visual Studio 2015, the IDE is capable of using GDB as a debugging backend.
18
-
Visual Rust now supports this feature!
19
-
20
-
#### Pre-requisites
21
-
- You will need to install GDB for Windows from one of the [MinGW-w64](http://mingw-w64.org) distributions **(original [MinGW](http://www.mingw.org/) won't work)**.
22
-
- When installing Visual Studio 2015, be sure to put check mark next to
23
-
'Tools for Visual C++ Mobile Development' component. This will install the GDB front-end package.
24
-
25
-
#### Configuration
26
-
If GDB installation directory is on your PATH, no further configuration should be required.
27
-
Otherwise, open `Tools/Options...` dialog in the IDE, navigate to `Visual Rust/Debugging` and
28
-
enter the full path to gdb.exe there.
29
-
30
-
#### Usage
31
-
Most of the usual VS debugger features are supported.
32
-
You can also issue GDB-specific commands in the VS Command Window: `Debug.GDBExec <command>`.
33
-
For convenience, `Debug.GDBExec` has been aliased to `gdb`.
34
-
35
-
#### Known issues
36
-
- The 64-bit GDB fails to start 32-bit executables. This appears to be a GDB problem.
37
-
Meanwhile, you can use the 32-bt version of GDB for 32-bit debugging.
