Debugger not working
jeqcho:
Hi,
I have been using CodeBlocks for more than a year but I still can't use the debugger. Since it's the new decade I might as well finally solve this for good.
I looked at the -g -s flags, checked the path for spaces and even made a new project to test out debugging, but the debugger is still not working. I tried all I could find on the web.
Here is my debugger logs:

Help is very much appreciated. Thanks!

You made sure the -g flag was set, correct?
You made sure the -s flag was *not* set, correct?
Edit: What compiler was used to build your project? 64 bit or 32 bit?
What debugger are you trying to use to debug your project? 64 bit or 32 bit?
Edit2: What code::blocks version? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?
Code::Blocks nightly are 64 bit; otherwise the windows builds are 32 bit.

To debug an exe created by CygWin 64 bit it is suggested to use MinGW gdb 64 bit.
The IDE needs to be 64 bit when you use an 64 bit debugger to have full functionally.
NOTE: The above is from reading the posts on this website; it is not been confirmed as true by me.

Thanks for replying. I rechecked that the -g flag is set and the -s flag is not set.
Compiler: Cygwin 64bit
Debugger: The default in CodeBlocks MinGW (which I see it as gdb32.exe)
CodeBlocks version is 32 bit.
Is the solution to download gdb 64?

If you wish to debug an 64 bit app you must use an 64 bit debugger!
Edit: You can try the 64 bit gdb from Cygwin; but, I heard it does not work with Code::Blocks.
You might try the Cygwin mingw64 gdb and see if that works.
Edit2: You could build an 32 bit Cygwin app, instead.
You could build an mingw gcc app instead.
