Debugger isn't working
« on: October 31, 2022, 09:15:57 am »
I've a problem with debugger in Code::Blocks. I add a breakpoint, start debugger but as soon as it takes input, it closes with following message:
Code

[debug]> quit

Debugger finished with status 0

This is the code:

(It's about finding the longest word in the sentence, and printing the length of it. Program works perfectly fine, but I just wanted to check if debugger works, and it doesn't)

Code
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string sentence;
    getline(cin,sentence);
    char word[50];
    int maxi=0,br=0,j;
    for(j=0;j<sentence.length();j++)
    {
        if(sentence[j]!=' ')
            br++;
        if(sentence[j]==' ' || j==sentence.length()-1)
        {
            if(br>maxi){
                maxi=br;
                sentence.copy(word,br,j-br+1);
                word[br]='\0';
            }
            br=0;
        }
    }
    cout<<maxi<<endl<<word;
    return 0;
}

-g flag is set. I typed the sentence and hit enter, but it just exited the debugger. I tried following several tutorials, but everything is set as it should be. It just doesn't work. Thank you in advance

In the log message, I see this line:

"no debugging symbols found".

This means you are not using the "-g" option for the compiler, so you can't debug the output exe file.

Do you use the "Release" build?
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

I do not use the debugger, but, I think it can also mean the strip option is set I think that is "-s" but it might be something diffferrent.

It suddenly started working, and I've just restarted my computer. Thank you nevertheless.
