Debug breakpoints not stopping

(1/3) > >>

coffee__guy:

I click Debug/Start to run debugger but breakpoints not stopping.
I am trying to debug C (not C++).

Project/Build Options/Debug has checked:
   Enable all compiler warnings
   Produce Debugging symbols.

I read I need to pass "cc -g -c". 
Windows 10, patches up thru 2018.02 applied 
Using codeblocks 17.12
Under C::B  settings/debugger, catch c++ extensions is NOT checked.

Some Debug log info:

******
 C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\x86_64-7.2.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev1\mingw64\bin\gdb.exe -nx -fullname -quiet  -args C:/Users/.../DAVES_~1/LEARNI~1/bin/Release/LEARNI~1.EXE
******  current debug code

******  Debugger working

[debug]> quit

Debugger finished with status 0

[debug]DebuggerGDB::EnableBreakpoint(running=0);
[debug]DebuggerGDB::EnableBreakpoint(running=0);
******  Debugger sees beakpoints
[debug]No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.
[debug]Breakpoint 1 ("C:/Users/.../HelloWorld.c:27") pending.
[debug]>>>>>>cb_gdb:
[debug]> break "C:/Users/...S/HelloWorld.c:7"
[debug]No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.

******   Referneces I looked at
I have reviewed http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GDB_Debugger_Tips.
I downloaded gdb-8.1.tar and unpacked it with 7-zip but can not find bdg.exe file.

Any ideas???

Did you look at the compiler command in the build log to confirm the "-g" is present and the "-s" strip command is *not* present.

coffee__guy:
I did not.  Here it is though.  I did not know where to look.  Thanks for letting me know where it is.   

mingw32-gcc.exe -Wall -O2 -g  -c "C:\Users...\HelloWorld.c" -o obj\Release\HelloWorld.o
mingw32-g++.exe  -o "bin\Release\... \HelloWorld.o  -s 

Where do I change the -s above?  I think gcc is C and g++ is C+.  I am compiling C.

And thank you

I would guess the "other linker options"
Project -> Build Options
Tab: Linker Settings

Remember to check both the project and target level in the left hand pane.

Generally it is better to use the Debug target when debugging. The release rarely allows any useful debugging to happen. To switch the target find the drop down where it is Release is selected and switch it to Debug.
