Debugging cursor disappearing

(1/5) > >>

Léa Massiot:
Hello and thank you for reading my post,

My question is about debugging my program from inside Code::Blocks (using "gdb").
When I start debugging and after a few successful steps, the debugging cursor disappears and I have to press the F7 key dozens of times before it reappears.

Nota 1: It happens when I call a method from a library which source code I do not have.
Nota 2: I am using the "-g" option to build my project but maybe this is not enough... ?

Can you help me?
Best regards,

If you're not using the debugger's branch nightly, please try it. Then if the behaviour is the same, we will dig deeper what is the problem.

Please next time you post about a problem, mention in your post the OS/C::B version/Compiler/Debugger version.
Without them we could hardly help you sometimes.

I've never done this before. Can you provide some more details/instructions?

I have a given instruction which requires seventeen F7 key presses before I can go to the next instruction (line).

Here is the info how to install the latest nightly build version: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,15440.msg103649.html#msg103649

BTW: Sometimes we are interested in the version numbers, too, GCC and GDB have 20 years of history as projects.
