How to use gdb in C::B?

(1/6) > >>

Hello, I am new in Free IDEs as Code::Blocks and Dev-C++..but, sincerely, C::B is fantastic.. :shock:

I have not idea how to use debug and the watches window..I already tried :?

I think that the gdb is already installed with C::B, i am  right?

so, I also checked the field "Produce Debugging Symbols " in compiler/compiler Options, is only this?

in "Add watch", I must simply put  the name of the variable, or others parameters are required?

thank you and Congratulations.. :P

After you 've built your project, place any breakpoints you like in your code and start it by running Debug->Debug (F8).
When a breakpoint hits, look at the "Watches" tab ;)

Oh, very simply!! 8)

and the "Add Watches" ?  for what he does serve then?

Thank you ,  :)

mandrav:
By default, function arguments and local variables are watched (you can change this behaviour in debugger options).
Use "Add watch" to add watches for other variables.

Thanks Mandrav, :D

but, some variables and definitions the Debugger do not recognized for some reason, see the following errors:

Selecting target: default
Compiling: done
Starting debugger: done

"Attempt to use a type name as an expression"  how do I configure that? ?
