I was debugging a Linux C program with CLion's internal debugger (which is gdb on Linux). The program forked a child process that was supposed to get suspended at the break point I set. But the debugger didn't stop there even if I had entered set follow-fork-mode child inside the gdb panel. So how can I make that happen with CLion?
How to debug a forked child process using CLion

Use the GDB tab of the debugger:
enter set follow-fork-mode child and set detach-on-fork off
according to this link debugger: Support multi-process targets
It's still not supported in Clion. set detach-on-fork off will add a thread to the frame, but you still can't control the child process. And Clion
"treats exit of one of the inferiors as end of debugging session even-though others are still running".
I think there is a same issue with vscode.
