iostream keeps appearing in debugger

[anonymous_dan2015]

Hi all,

I am relatively new to C++ and to code:blocks. I have just experienced what debugging code is all about. I have written this small program but this is what is happening:
So i place a breakpoint in my program (as I was shown to do when debugging)
I press the debug start/continue button
An empty console window is displayed as normal but an iostream tab is displayed with code inside. The debug stops at line 77 in that code and even when I press the 'step into' debug button, the debug just stays at line 77 in the iostream code.

Here is the code I wrote for the C++ program:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int x = 3;

    while (x==3)
    {
        cout << "X value is: " << x << endl;
        cout << "New x value: " << endl;
        cin >> x;
    }
        cout << "Loop terminated as condition is false" << endl;
    return 0;
}

As, I said, an iostream tab is displayed with code and the debugger stops on line 77 which shows this:

  static ios_base::Init __ioinit;

and this is shown in the debugger log:

In msvcrt!fwrite () (C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll)
#1  0x0041144b in __gnu_cxx::stdio_sync_filebuf<char, std::char_traits<char> >::xsputn(char const*, int) () at C:/Dev-Cpp/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/../../../../include/c++/3.4.2/iostream:77
C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\iostream:77:2988:beg:0x41144b
At C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\iostream:77



I searched online and deselected the 'catch C++ exceptions' in Settings>>Debugger>>Default but this didn't work.

This problem doesnt occur when the code is C; only C++.

Can anyone please help with this issue?

Thanks in advance

Dan

Sorry, forgot to mention that I wish to get rid of the iostream code. I just want it to debug my program code.

Thanks

hi!
can you please put your code and the log outputs in code tags (the # symbol in the topic editor)

then: I have tried to debug your code, and here it works. Can you pleas turn on full debugger loging (Settings->Common->Full (Debug) log )
and post  the result from the "Debugger" tab here?

Where do you set the breakpoint (line)? And what do you use to step through (run, continue, step over, step in) ?

Are you getting a yellow warning the the bottom right  corner, something about "sigseg" or alike?


greetings

Hi BlueHazzard,

Thanks for your reply.

The code is as follows:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int x = 3;

    while (x==3)
    {
        cout << "X value is: " << x << endl;
        cout << "New x value: " << endl;
        cin >> x;
    }
        cout << "Loop terminated as condition is false" << endl;
    return 0;
}

I put the breakpoint on the cout << "X value is: " << x << endl; line

I have turned on the full debug log as you said an this is the log of what I got:

I constantly pressed the 'step into' button when the debugger is working. It constantly hops from my code to iostream code. The only way around it is if i press the'step into' button to debug a liine of my code and then press 'step out of' when it tries to debug the iostream code.

Code tags doesn't work when you put the '#' symbol at the beginning and end of your code. There is a dedicated icon in the topic editor with the '#' sign on it, please use that next time and even better please edit your post. It should output something like

Code

your code here

and place your code between these 2.

And for your problem did you try 'next line' in the debugger menu to step through your code?

[oBFusCATed]

It seems you're using really old mingw release.
Can you please try to use one a bit newer?
GCC 3.4.x is really old these days, there are GCC 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 and even 5.1 that should work a bit better.

[papagym]

I'm new here too, so this may not solve your problem.

I think you need to set the debugger on the first line of code you want to start the debug on, (But I don't know how to set the start point in Codeblocks) and use break points after that.  So I would think it needs to start on the line after (int main () ) or later.  That may be why your seeing the #include <iostream>

Good Luck

his problem is clearly that he is stepping "into" the iostram code... He has to use step over (aka "next line" ) or set a break point on every line and use continue....
if i step into a function a will land into that function....
