The Visual Studio MI Debug Engine ("MIEngine") provides an open-source Visual Studio extension that enables debugging with debuggers that support the gdb Machine Interface ("MI") specification such as GDB, LLDB, and CLRDBG.
MIEngine is a Visual Studio Debug Engine that understands Machine Interface ("MI"). A Debug Engine is an implementation of the Core Debug Interfaces, enabling the VS UI to drive debugging. Machine Interface is a text-based protocol developed by GDB that allows a debugger to be used as a separate component of a larger system. Additional information:
- Support for debugging C/C++ on Android and iOS.
- Debug on any platform that supports GDB, such as Linux and even Raspberry Pi.
MIEngine requires Visual Studio 2015 with the following features installed:
- Programming Languages -> Visual C++ -> Common Tools for Visual C++
- Cross Platform Mobile Development -> Visual C++ Mobile Development
- Cross Platform Mobile Development -> Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android
- Common Tools -> Visual Studio Extensibility Tools
- Clone the sources:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/MIEngine.git - Open src/MIDebugEngine.sln in Visual Studio.
- Debug -> Start Debugging (or F5) to to build, deploy, and start debugging the Experimental Instance of Visual Studio.
- See the wiki for more info.
