Hello. When trying to debug a C++ project (build target set to debug, compiler flag -g set, toolchain executables for MinGW set correctly, OS Windows 7 32 bits), the debugger will not stop at any breakpoints. The debugger only stops when it catches a signal like SIGSEGV or when input is required from the keyboard. "Run to cursor", "Start [F8]" and "Step into" all have the same behaviour.
Tried both CodeBlocks 10.05, and nightly 7789.
I tried searching, but I couldn't find something similar on the forums. Would appreciate any help to get it to work. Thanks :)

Try a debugger's branch nightly.
Try a console debugging session.
If all doesn't work post the full log of the debugger.

What's the exact steps we can reproduce your bug? Code, complier, gdb. We need all those information.

Follow up to this, a regression in GDB 7.4 was the reason, because I had spaces in my file path.

OK, so it is a gdb bug.
You can check out/clone that gdb line spec re-write branch, and build a gdb yourself. I have some experience some days ago under MSYS+mingw, we also have some discussion in our c::b forum about how to specify a breakpoint command.
