When you run an analysis configured for interactive debugging, the

Intel Inspector

halts application execution and, depending on how the analysis was started, launches a debugging session immediately or when a problem is detected.

The interactive debugging feature supports both the Intel® Debugger (graphical and command line interface) and the GNU gdb* debugger (default). Other debuggers that support the gdb remote interface may also work.

If a supported debugger is not in the system search path, use the

Other supported debugger

option to specify an alternative location. You can also use this option to specify an alternative debugger.

If you choose to start a debugger and connect to the debugging session manually, the analysis pauses while waiting for the debugger connection and displays a message in the

Collection Log

window or terminal where the analysis was launched. Connect using the

target remote

command displayed in the message. You must terminate the analysis if the connection cannot be established.
