How to debug Chromium in Eclipse on Linux?

Question

To debug chromium using gdb (LinuxDebugging) one can use

chromium --renderer-cmd-prefix="gdb --args"

and

chromium --plugin-launcher="gdb --args"

Chromium then launches debugger with "gdb --args" and pass command line specifying how to launch that process. Then I can use gdb from command line as normally.

How can I achieve the same scenario in Eclipse?

By using non-stop mode I can debug chrome as usual. But since renderer and plugins are running out of process, I can't track them.

Answer 1

The only solution I've found is "attach to process" approach.

Update: seems like Eclipse Indigo (gdb 7.2) supports multiprocess debugging. Didn't try it yet.

Answer 2

Eclipse can be used on Linux as an IDE for developing Chromium. This is from official google link:

Answer 3

I don't recall anyone on the Chromium uses Eclipse with Chrome for debugging. With that technique, you can only use gdb.

Eclipse is not a supported environment, if you can support it, it would be super :)

Answer 4

Use Qtcreator to debug chrome on linux, you need to just attach the process.
