Debugging Intel® MIC Architecture Applications on the Command Line

Note

This topic only applies to Intel® MIC Architecture.

The debugging solution for heterogenous applications on the command line consists of two loosely coupled debuggers:

The host debugger

Runs on the host. Launches and debugs the application when you are debugging a heterogeneous application.

The command line host debugger is launched with

idbc

The target debugger

For heterogeneous applications: Launches the target debugger when the compiler runtime launches the part of a heterogeneous application that executes on the coprocessor.
For applications that run natively on Intel® MIC Architecture: This is the only debugger you use to debug an application.

The command line target debugger is launched with

idbc_mic

Note

The auto-attach feature is not supported in the command line versions of the debuggers. if you want to debug host and coprocessor versions of an application at the same time, it is strongly recommended to use the Eclipse* based debugging solution.
