Use a remote machine as a back-end

• Use any Linux/MacOS machine as a host for GCC/GDB
• Enjoy the mapped error/warning messages
• Synchronize source files automatically
• Import remote include dirs to use with IntelliSense
• Run GDB remotely with our ultra-low-latency build server

Stay in full control

• Customize GDB command line
• Customize GDB startup commands
• Send arbitrary commands to GDB at any moment
• Customize source path mapping on-the-fly
• Look under the hood - see all interaction with GDB

Automate complex build scenarios

• Make custom build actions executed at arbitrary machines
• Schedule custom source transfers
• Receive files back from build machines
• Specify how to interrupt inferior execution
• Define different scenarios for different project configurations
• Start/prepare GDB yourself and tell VisualGDB to take control
