    <p>I'm using Eclipse on Windows to program C++ using Cygwin's toolchain. I would like to use it for debugging as well, but my problem is the following:</p> <ul> <li>The executable to debug is in a sub-folder of the workspace (pretty standard, I guess) but not of the actual Project from which the executable is built.</li> <li>Eclipse and GDB have different path formats: Eclipse works with Windows paths, whereas GDB works with posix paths. Eclipse knows <code>D:\Path\To\Exe</code> whereas GDB needs <code>/cygdrive/d/Path/To/Exe</code>.</li> <li>Eclipse <strong>insists</strong> that it can find the executable to debug when I enter the path in the "Debug configurations..." dialog. The "Debug" button is disabled until the path is correct.</li> <li>Eclipse does not seem to take <code>${workspace_loc}</code> in that particular input box.</li> </ul> <p>Is there some hidden option I don't know about? Have you had the problem before?</p> <h1>What I've tried so far</h1> <ul> <li>Forcing Eclipse to pass the path I input to GDB --- <strong>did not work.</strong></li> <li>Fiddling with source lookup paths and path mappings --- <strong>did not work</strong>, it's really just for source files.</li> <li>Creating a C++ Project for the output folder where the executable is, so I could have a relative path to the exe inside the project --- <strong>did not work.</strong></li> </ul> <h1>Things I could still try</h1> <ul> <li>Use the <code>.gdbinit</code> file to discard the path given by Eclipse and load the real executable with posix paths --- tried that, but not very hard.</li> <li>Specify a wrapper as argument to GDB --- pollutes the root of my workspace.</li> <li>Provide my own plug-in to deal with the case --- adds another piece of code to maintain in another language.</li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
