MinGW64 Debugger not starting
« on: June 02, 2019, 01:23:12 pm »
I downloaded and Installed Code::Blocks "codeblocks-17.12mingw-setup.exe" and it works great.

Today, I added 'MinGW64' i.e. x64 version of compiler which comes with 8.1 version of GDB. However, regardless of my settings the debugger is not launching properly. Instead, the old debugger 7.9.1 that with came with Code::Blocks starts up.

My settings are shown in attached files.

The debugger log looks like this:

Okay, it wasn't working because my project was using a different compiler.

But now I am getting a totally different error:

Try to place your project in a path without spaces?

Yes, that did the trick. But why now? I had no problems with spaces when I used MingGW setup that came with Code::Blocks.

No, idea. Probably something changed in the gdb and now it doesn't like the path CB is passing it.

Can you specify the version of compiler, gdb and codeblocks you're using?

I have plans to investigate these whitespace issues someday, because they are annoying... ;(

Yes, thank you please tell me if you find out:
• Compiler: GNU GCC Compiler 8.1 (x64)
• Operating System: Windows 8.1 (x64)
• Code::Blocks: 17.12 (x86)
• GDB: 8.1 (x64)

Which release are you using? mingw or mingw-w64?

Both of them. The 'space' error happens with mingw-w64 but when I use mingw that came code blocks it doesn't happen i.e. it is fine to use spaces in project names and the debugger works.

Oh, and keep in mind that a 32bit program cannot interrupt 64bit program. So the pause and stop buttons in the debugger toolbar won't work. Also it won't be possible to add breakpoints if the program is running and it is not stopped on another breakpoint.

MinGW traditionally has trouble with spaces in its path as well.  The very first sentence of this article on their website says so:
