how to use eclipse when debugging postgreSQL backend - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

<div class="Section1"><p class="MsoNormal">Hello hackers,<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p
class="MsoNormal">Ireally appreciate Mr. Cecchet’s effort to establish the wiki page (working_with_eclipse,
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-10/msg00312.php).<pclass="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">I set up
myPostgreSQL development environment with Eclipse, following the page’s instructions.<p class="MsoNormal"> <p
class="MsoNormal">However,I’m stuck to the situation that I cannot debug the modified backend source of PostgreSQL <p
class="MsoNormal"> <pclass="MsoNormal">since the gdb incorporated with Eclipse doesn’t support the debugging of the
forkedchild processes.<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">When I start debugging process
byusing the project default, it can only debug the postmaster process,<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">since
thepostmaster process forks child processes each of which is actually postgres backend process responsible for the
responseto each client process (psql).<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">What I’m trying to debug is the
storage-relatedpart of the backend source, so the gdb should be able to access the forked processes.<p
class="MsoNormal"> <pclass="MsoNormal">I tried several ways like making the default option of gdb to be ‘set
follow-fork-modechild’, but those tries didn’t work.<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">For sure, there is
anotheroption, giving up using eclipse when debugging and using the console-mode gdb, <p class="MsoNormal"> <p
class="MsoNormal">butI prefer using graphical development environment and that’s the reason why I chose to use eclipse
asa default development tool in the very first start.<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">(This try might be
regardedas silly though, I might be supposed to get familiar to console development environment,<p
class="MsoNormal"> <pclass="MsoNormal">but if someone went through the same situation before and he or she can help me,
itwill be very time-saving)<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">If someone can let me know
howto set Eclipse or several steps needed to access the forked process while Elipse debugging, <p class="MsoNormal"> <p
