Step Into

(1/1)

meridius10:
I have been used to using the debugger in Excel and using Step Into where I can view the VB Editor on one half of the screen and the Excel worksheet on the other half, which has proved very useful to see a program running through each line of code.

In Code Blocks, if I Debug > Step Into, there isn't much difference between doing this and actually Build > Run.

How can I see the program running through each individual line of code?

Have you read this: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Debugging_with_Code::Blocks

I got to the first stage, but it looks like I have to go to Build Options for every single new project and change to -[g]?

Then on Add Watches, I actually don't have any Watches to add, so I can't seem to proceed. If I'm supposed to add a Watch what should I put in it, if it should be generally used?

Can I do all this through main.cpp?

Sorry am a bit new to all this...

oBFusCATed:
You add a watch for every variable you want to inspect.
And yes you should add the -g for every project you want to debug. The standard practice is to have two targets per project one is "debug" one is "release" (full optimizations and no symbols).

OK - I need to practice a few and see how I go. Thanks for the info.
