I am developing a cross-platform application in C++ in VS2005. I already know how to run a remote process on a windows box, attach it, and debug from my VS.
Is there a way to do debug a running process on Linux for example? What about other *nix platforms such as Solaris or AIX? I can do emacs+gdb, but if this can be done from VS I'd prefer that.
VS2005 and g++ use create completely different debugging symbols. You do realize you'll have to compile the application on linux with g++? (or some other *nix compiler, but not VS2005). So because it's compiled with a different compiler, there's really no way to debug it inside VS2005.
OK, everything I said was essentially true, but it looks like there is a program that will allow you to run gdb inside Visual Studio. Check it out here.
