Description

I'm connecting to a GDB server on localhost which is talking to an embedded target via OpenOCD/JLink. This works. For which many thanks.

What I cannot figure out is how to pass command line arguments to the GDB instance. i.e. -ex monitor reset -ex b main

Appending these to MIDebuggerPath fails (as expected). Using DebugServerArgs does nothing obvious.

TAIA.

Research direction

Start by tracing the LocalLaunchOptions configuration and the MIDebuggerPath and DebugServerArgs settings mentioned in the report. Check the surrounding MIEngine launch configuration and any related tests or documentation to determine whether GDB command-line arguments are supported; done means the supported behavior is clear and verified.
