GNU and visual studio

[localmotion]

I was wondering if it was possible to gdb to debug applications compiled with Microsoft's Visual Studio compiler (cl.exe). for gcc/g++ -g is the flag to put debug information into the objects, but is it possible to do something similar with visual studio such that when i load the vc++ binary into gdb, it can find the debug symbols? any ideas?

aloha!

This is obvious, but have you check the list of options/flags for vc++ in the documentation? If there is one for debug information then you should be able to set in with Visual Studio, if not compile with flags needed using the terminal.
