Remote debugging and especially the extended-remote mode are worth knowing.
That is usually my default workflow. The debugger (client and frontend) run on my desktop box while the app is running under gdbserver on an ARM board on the network.
The other day I was debugging a Windows game on my Linux laptop, editing in vim, compiling with x86_64-w64-mingw-clang and gdbserver running on my desktop PC. Not the most comfortable development environment but sure as hell beats learning another debugger and installing dev tools on Windows.
- vvanders 8y agoAs someone who's spent a good amount of time in both GDB and Visual Studio don't be so quick to knock the dev tools on Windows, they're really quite good.
- exDM69 8y agoWindows is a platform I very seldom use. I had a few hour debugging job, so not worth installing the dev tools. I could just use the tools I always do.
