Re: debugging a program that takes command line args


Adam,

Go to the Target Settings panel (look under the File menu on the Source window).  Set the target to "exec".  Then you will get an "args" entry box in the target settings.  Type your arguments in the Run window, and you are good to go.

The non-gui way to do it, is to bring up the console window, and type

(gdb) set args whatever

Then run as normal.

Hope  this helps,

Jim
