Unable to debug in codeblocks
« on: April 21, 2020, 12:31:02 am »
Well guys, I am unable to debug my projects in codeblocks for some reason... I was using the code blocks 20.03 portable and now I installed the code blocks, tried again and nothing happened.

I can't use the "next line", because it returns this: "Cannot find bounds of current function".

The Full DEBUG LOG

Do you have debug symbols? Have you tried with another version of gdb? Are all executables either 32bit or 64bit (gdb, codeblocks, your program)?
(most of the time I ignore long posts)
[strangers don't send me private messages, I'll ignore them; post a topic in the forum, but first read the rules!]

Yeah, I have the debug symbols. About the 32bit or 64bit gdb, codeblocks and the program, how can I check if they are at the same configuration? I just installed code blocks and I didn't change nothing as I remember of. You can see the symbols here https://prnt.sc/s2zb29.

Edit:

Hey Dude, I fixed it! I have a path "C:\MinGW\bin" folder,  where the MinGW was installed by me (I didn't even remember to installed it there), so I set the debugger of code blocks to use the "gdb.exe" from the "C:\MinGW\bin\" path and it is working now, when I was using the "gdb.exe" from "C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin\gdb.exe" didn't work.

But just because I'm curious, why only the "gdb.exe" from the previously installed MinGW works?
I am sorry for "wasting" your time, I am a beginner at programming, C, IDEs and that stuff, so I basically have no idea of what I am doing in the vast majority of the time.

That was the Compiler you used to compile the program! It likely is an 32 bit installation.
While the debugger that failed to work was 64 bit.
