sending EOF to stdin in Clion IDE

Question

Is there a way to send EOF to stdin when running a c program in Clion IDE? I tried ctrl+D - it simply shuts the program down. Ctrl+Z doesn\'t work either. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Another option is to run the program from command line, and attach to it from CLion. In that case, you'll have your native shell.

It's detailed at https://blog.jetbrains.com/clion/2016/01/attach-to-local-process/

The process is very simple - after running the program from command line, choose Run->Attach to Local Process...

And choose your program from the list. You can type in the search field.

Answer 2

ctrl+D does the job, however there is a known problem, to avoid it disable option run.processes.with.pty in Registry (Find Action > Registry).
