I'm writing a netscape iplanet plugin (on solaris/C using eclipse) which is basically a shared object with specific entry points, and I'd like to be able to debug the shared object with eclipse's debugger (gdb). I remember doing something similar in AIX where you could make xldb attach to a running process. Is it possible to get eclipse to run gdb to attach to a running binary? And should I expect grief because I want to debug a dynamically loaded piece of code?

Yes, Eclipse CDT has support of historical debugger feature. Open Debug Configuration -> Debugger -> Enable Reverse Debugging at startup . Than you can press shift+F5 or shift+F6 for step back like F5 or F6 for step forward.
#2) Step over of F6: This option is also available as the icon shown below. Using this you can skip the debugger and execute the code. In this case, the code will execute normally till you keep hitting F6 and in the end, you will get the exception as you do while normally executing.
One of the main reasons that the debug version is significantly slower is because of these extra diagnostics. as to why you want to run in Debug, it's because those extra diagnostics are doing lots of useful stuff that help you catch bugs in your program so that you have more chance of the release build working.
6. Drop to frame. Eclipse enables users to choose any frame (level) in the call stack during the debugging process and set the JVM to start again from the selected level. In simple words, it allows you to re-run a part of your program.
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.

I use Eclipse CDT for HP/UX remote environment. I'm not sure whether it will work for you:
have your app running on unix
go to Run / Debug Configurations / C/C++ Attach to Remote
click Debug and a list of processess will be shown
select the process you want to debug.
