Answer 1

Yes it is. You need to go to the Lauch Configuration Dialog and select "C++ Attach to ...". Depending on your Eclipse version there may be only one or more "C++ Attach to ..." variants available.

Answer 2

I use Eclipse CDT for HP/UX remote environment. I'm not sure whether it will work for you:

1. have your app running on unix

2. go to Run / Debug Configurations / C/C++ Attach to Remote

3. click Debug and a list of processess will be shown

4. select the process you want to debug.
