Command line arguments for insight

Command line arguments for insight

[Tomas Martinec]

Hello,

I use the Insight debugger through the Visual studio IDE as an
external tool and I have some suggestions for Insight.

Every time I want to debug I have to choose the binary to be run and
the source files, which is pretty annoying (I have the binary and the
sources in different directories, so I need to specify the both
things). I was unsuccesfully trying to find some command line options,
which could be specified in the Visual studio and which would do this
automatically.

So I would like to have these options. It could be something like -D
for directory (and contained subdirectories) with sources and -b for
the debugee binary. It would be also nice to have these documented
with --help option or on the project web.

Best regards,
Tomas Martinec

insight is merely a frontend to gdb.  what you want to do is already possible 
with gdb, so read the existing gdb documentation.  if you still cant figure 
out the existing options/command lines, -ex will certainly always work.
