Is there a way to clear Eclipse console in C++? - c++

I'm developing a C++ application that interacts with user. I want to clear the screen in some situations. I found a command called system("CLS"). By the way, I'am working on Windows. But, the command works only if I am running the program from CMD or PowerShell. The thing I want is to clear the Eclipse IDE console.
ECLIPSE VERSION: 4.3.2 Kepler (a little bit old)

How to input the data in c++ in the latest version of qt for non qt projects on mac?

I am using the latest version of Qt creator in mac Catalina. I have used Qt in the past earlier. I am primarily using it to run non-qt applications in C++. The version of Qt creator is 4.11.1 based on Qt 5.14.1.
I am trying to run a program written in c++ which is accepting a simple input. However, I am not sure how to input the data. I tried inputting the data into application output window of Qt but the program doesn't stop. It gets stuck forever. The program doesn't exit at all.
I tried changing the terminal in Qt setting to Mac's terminal. It does work but I would like to input the data through default Qt terminal. Let me know how to make it work. Thanks

Eclipse Remote Debugging CDT tutorial

TL;DR: is there a step by step tutorial to do remote code debugging using Eclipse Neon?
I have the source code in a Linux machine with a GCC dev environment. Normally, I ssh to the box, edit the file, and compile/debug using gdb, and it works, but it is a bit clunky for me.
I am now trying to debug the code from my Windows machine using the latest Eclipse version (Neon as of this writing).
I've tried following the instructions online (like this one), but they all seem to point towards (cross-)compiling the code locally, deploying it remotely and debugging there. This is not what I'm after. I essentially want to use Eclipse as a remote text editor+gdb interface, with the building and compiling being done in the remote system.
I've installed CDT, plus pretty much any plugin remotely related to remote development
Remote System Explorer
Remote Launch
GCC Cross compiler support
Remote (over TCF/TE) Run/Debug Launcher
Direct Remote C++ Debugging
TCF C/C++ Debugger
TM Terminal
So far, I can connect to the remote system, create a Remote Project and edit the source code.
I don't need Eclipse to compile the code (I can do that separately) but I'm unable to debug the code.
Using C/C++ Remote Application fails in many creative ways when trying to find gdb in the remote system.
Using GDB (DSF) Automatic Remote Debugging Launcher ends in a java.lang.NullPointerException, which also invalidates the configuration
Using Direct Remote Debugging Launcher asks about a remote workspace, then complains with "Error with command: gdb --version Cannot run program "gdb": Launching failed"
Remote Application complains about the Process/Image field. Setting it to the binary output doesn't enable the Debug button, so no dice.
TCF is dead in the water. It doesn't recognize the SSH connections I set up on RSE, it asks for the username password (I use public keys) and root password (?!) Even when entering that info, it fails to continue.
On a whim, I tried NetBeans, and followed the instructions here, and got it working in five minutes. The mode I'm following is the "Full Remote Development" according to NetBeans. The reason I'll still need to stick to Eclipse is that it is the dev environment that we use in the company, and it makes little sense to me to add another IDE to do something that Eclipse by all rights should do no problem.
What I find is that the walkthroughs for Eclipse I've found are either
Using plugins that are now either deprecated, not supported or have been completely reworked. Eclipse crashes and burns on these.
Trying to compile locally and deploy remotely, doing things like embedded even, but that's not what I'm looking for.
Using the Eclipse DStore client-server combo, which is essentially an alternative to SSH, but not what I'm looking for either.
I'm then hoping someone has written/found a tutorial that is relatively simple to follow (it is, after all, a relatively simple thing to do, as NetBeans has proven), and that works on any version of Eclipse.
I'll consider using an older version of Eclipse, but if so, please be specific in which version I should use, and which plugins I should install.

How can I develop pure GUI wxwigets program by XCode

I have create a wxwidgets program(Pure C++) , the build is success and running is OK
But when I click the program in finder, a terminal windows is popup.
How to avoid the terminal window being popup?
PS: Similiar problem is also seen in Visual Studio, and can be fixed by changing subsystem from Console to Windows
Is there a similiar configuration in Xcode?
You must make a bundle for your application under OS X. If you use Xcode, this should already be the case. If you use makefiles/command line, look at how the minimal sample included in wxWidgets distribution does it.

Juno CDT plugin failing to run a C++ application

I have a simple mixed C/C++ application (OpenGL example) which I have successfully built using Eclipse CDT in Juno (MinGW toolchain).
I can run this application fine by hand from a Win7 command console, but it seems to rarely work when running from Eclipse's "Run as" menu. Whether it works or not seems down to seemingly unrelated changes in the code, and I get nothing of interest on the Eclipse run console (just a <terminated> status) even when no code near the start of the application has changed.
I'd like to and it sometimes I can work around this for now, but would be good to get this working if anyone has any ideas - it seems an essential stepping stone to get the debug environment working in Eclipse.
EDIT Side thought - eclipse seems awfully thin on debug diagnostics when something like this fails. If there is any way to turn on more debug I'd welcome the knowledge =)
Resolved - the issue is down to the path being given to the application, or more specifically the OS launcher (so it can find the DLLs it needs).
Even through the default "run" config claims to inherit the parent environment, it doesn't seem to get the same environment as the Win7 command console. I had to manually edit the "Run as" config in Eclipse to have a custom PATH environment variable containing the directories I needed (MinGW/bin, and a directory containing some custom DLLs).
Cheers, Iso

How can I output execution display to console in Eclipse for remote C++?

I'm using Eclipse 3.4.1 with Hp/UX plugin for remote debugging of C/C++. It works very fine, except for one issue: whenever I compile my projects, the output display is Eclipse's console view, but when I run or debug any projects, the output window is the old and not-so-good MS-DOS command window. I haven't find any way to change this behavior.
How do I set the execution output display to Eclipse console?
Update:
Environment: running Eclipse 3.4.1 on Windows XP and debugging C/C++ applications on an HP/UX server.
CDT version is 5.0.0.
Which version of CDT are you using? Because from this "hello world" guide it seems the spawner.dll pretty much handles this console redirection for you.
