Remote Debug
Basics
CLion supports remote debug with GDB/gdbserver. That means that having executable running on one machine under gdbserver, you can connect to it with the GDB from CLion from another machine and inspect the code using all the benefits of CLion’s debugger UI: set breakpoints from the IDE, view variable values, evaluate expressions and more.
Since the bundled GDB in CLion is built with multi-arch support, it can be used for remote cross-platform debug in various Linux/Windows/macOS and embedded cases.

Before starting the debug session, you need to create a Remote GDB Run/Debug configuration: 
Launching the remote GDB debug session
- Run an executable on target system under gdbserver. For example, you can use the built-in terminal to access the remote host:
- Then launch the remote Run/Debug configuration in CLion:
