Remote C++ debugging through python script
Answered
Hello! :)
I have a problem with remote debug configuration, would you happen to be able to help me?
I have a C++ library, that has a Python API. What I want to do is to trigger remote debugging of this C++ lib from the python script. From the command line I'm doing it like:
ssh my_server
gdb --args python my_script.py
while the C++ library is installed via the wheel. How can I do it using CLion?

Hello!
CLion supports Python via the Python Community Edition bundled plugin. The feature set corresponds to the PyCharm IDE Community Edition.
Python remote debugging is a feature of PyCharm Professional and therefore is not supported in CLion.
Provided, that I have both CLion and PyCharm Professional, would it be possible?

I think you should be able to launch a remote debug session for your python script in PyCharm Professional, but you won't be able to debug C++ code in it.
