Full GDB Console

[The-real-Thomas-A-Anderson]

Hi,

Is there a way to enable Full GDB Console? To have some features like command-completion, command-history, etc. in gdb console.
I stumbled upon this: https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn92#Full_GDB_Console

I managed to get the "Debugger Console". There is a slightly non-standard behavior, i.e. missing (gdb) prefix at the command line.

And most important: I am on windows. The link above talks about linux.
Quote: "CDT 9.2, when used on Linux with GDB 7.12, provides a full-featured GDB command-line console in Eclipse. This console is accessible through the new Debugger Console view.

My gdb version:

show version
GNU gdb (xPack GNU Arm Embedded GCC x86_64) 11.2.90.20220202-git

Many thanks in advance

As far as I remember, Embedded CDT does nothing special regarding this console, the behaviour should come from CDT.

Yes, this feature only works on Linux today as it relies on OS functionality that does not exist on Windows.

There is a feature request tracking this on the CDT GitHub repo here: eclipse-cdt/cdt#362

Thanks for pointing this out.
Not the first time I stumble upon this issue...
