Run a C++ program in Clion as root

Question

I\'m trying to run a program written in C++ by using CLion v1.2 as super user. Anyone here knows how to run it as superuser? I\'m using CMake.

If you are asking to run the debugger as sudo/administrator, I had the same issue. On Linux you can open CLion as sudo and gdb will not have root permission issues running an executable:

sudo ./clion.sh

I would guess that you could right click in Windows and "Run as administrator" to get the same result.

There is a feature request into JetBrains to run the debugger as root that could use more up voting.
