Can I use the gdb command line console, when IDE is missing functionality provided by gdb?
Yes, gdb console is provided and will redirect user input to the gdb command interpreter during a debugging session. To access the console, open Console view from Windows->Show View… and click on “gdb target” of current debugging session in Debug view. Optionally, you may click on Display Selected Console button (looks like a blue monitor) on a Console view and pick gdb console from the drop down list. To execute gdb commands, simply type the command in the console. For example, show version. An example of such functionality would be setting address breakpoints and catchpoints.
