Debugger doesn't stop

<< < (2/2)

--- Quote ---Make sure that the project is compiled with the -g (debugging symbols) compiler option on, and the -s (strip symbols) option off. This ensures that the executable has debug symbols included.
Compiler optimization switches should be turned off, stripping symbols (-s) must be turned off.
Keep in mind that you may have to re-build your project as up-to-date object files might not be re-compiled with -g otherwise.

Thanks!!

It's solved now. Finally it debugs OK

I have to reinstall Codeblocks directly on C: (out of the Program Files folder). I guess the (x86) suffix - i'm running it on 64 bits - was the reason for this.

Many thanks again for the help, and sorry for the noob question.

Hello! I had the same problem, but found a different solution.

My C:: B was also not running the break points. My project was stored in a directory with many space characters (whitespaces) in the name. The name of the directory where the project was being stored was something like: "Project Test - Version two - before pointer fix problems" (just a example).

I changed the directory name for "Project" (no whitespaces, no extra words) and the break points were ok.

My conclusion: it is possible that the debugger does not handle spaces in directory name.

Sorry for bad English! :)

I guess you use Windows.
Yes, the gdb does not works quite well with file path containing spaces(so does gcc).
So, avoid using spaces in the full file path!!!
