clicking on debugger crashes codeblocks

[Bruise_Vein]

so I uninstalled the last codeblocks version (17.12) and installed the new version (20.03 with the combined MinGW installer).    now when I use codeblocks it runs well and I am able to build and run programs until I hit the 'Debug' button. after hitting debug it displays the following in the debugger log but doesn't start the console or running the program.

DEBUGGER LOG:

After this message even build and run stops working.  they start working after restarting codeblocks but the same happens after pressing debug.

I tried reinstalling codeblocks but the same happens. Also, I checked and my pc unfortunately doesn't have a restore point set.  PLZ HELP

Which version are you using exactly (32bit/64bit)?
Can you enable full logging in the debugger settings and then post the log?
Does it work again if you reinstall 17.12?
What OS are you using?

[Bruise_Vein]

I m using 64 bits version
OS: Windows
to reinstall 17.12 do I uninstall the 20.03 version or do I just install it in a different directory

This is not the full log. You have to enable it in the Settings -> Debugger -> Common -> Full (debug) log.
I'm not sure. You can uninstall first to be on the safe side.
Keep in mind that using a 64bit codeblocks to debug 32bit executables doesn't work well at the moment. Or using 32bit gdb to debug 64bit executables.

[Bruise_Vein]

yes, I used the same steps to enable the full debug log.



and also a friend of mine suggested me to clear the codeblocks directory in C:\Users\Your user name\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks.   
 after doing this codeblocks doesn't crash but clicking on the debugger still does nothing. and here is the new debug log

D:\C++\Code blocks projects\test\

A guess from a debugger newbie, I suggest you use only ASCII and no spaces in your project path!

it worked, I just removed spaces from my directory name and now it works like my older version of codeblocks.
I m just beginner, 2 months into c++ now and I don't know what happened.

Can u plz explain?

[oBFusCATed]

We don't handle spaces well. I'm not sure whose to blame, codeblocks or the tools we use (gdb, gcc). I have to do an investigation, but I cannot find the time. Especially when I don't use windows often

Thank you appreciate the help
