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.

A workaround is:

From https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/attaching-to-local-process.html#prereq-ubuntu

If you are using CLion on Ubuntu (or probably, on some other Linux distribution), upon the first attempt to attach to the local process you can get the ptrace: Operation not permitted. error message. To disable it and enable attach to the local process feature, do the following:

To disable this restriction temporarily, enter the command:

echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

To disable this restriction permanently, open the file /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf for editing and change the line kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 1 to kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 0. To apply the changes, enter: sudo service procps restart or restart your system, at your choice.
