Can I use a Code::Blocks as a MinGW GDB GUI?


We are unit testing with Vectorcast, which lets us use the MinGw GDB, but only the command line version. Some of the younger developers would like something more visual.

We do not use Code::Blocksto build our code, and it would be a major effort to do so.

Can we use a Code::Blocksas a GDB GUI? That is to say, can I point it at a .EXE file (which contains MinGW debug information) and use Code::Blocks (or any other MinGW based IDE) as a GDB GUI?


Solution

  • As a GUI tool for the debugger you could use x64dbg. It allows you to perform both 32 and 64 bit debugging for programs built with either MinGW or Visual Studio
