Setting up Intel Debugger

[ryanm]

Hi all

I have just installed Code::Blocks Nov 2 build, and am rather impressed (as a first-timer, used to Visual Studio).

I am compiling happily with the Intel C++ compiler 9.2 (Windows). However, I can't seem to get the Intel Debugger to work. It seems as if there are some default options passed to the Debugger (idb) that may be wrong. I'm not sure where to change these. The idb error log is as follows:

ommand-line: C:\Program Files\Intel\IDB\9.1\IA32\Bin\idb.exe -nx -fullname  -quiet -args ./FastDecomp.exe
Working dir : W:\Dev\FastDecomp\
> set prompt >>>>>>cb_gdb:
unrecognized option: nx (DBX mode)
Use 'idb --help' for a complete list of options.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Any ideas?

You are trying to use the IDB with the GDB command set.
Currently only the GNU debugger (GDB) and the MS Debugger (CDB) are supported. I can only speak for myself: I don't have a license for the Intel compilers so it's hard (impossible) to implement support for it. Please note that the MS debugger comes for free with the MS debugging tools.
With regards, Morten

Okay, I guess that's mildly disappointing.

I was under the impression that the IDB was supported, since when I selected the Intel C/C++ Compiler (Global compiler settings), the debugger automatically changed to idb.exe.

So - I guess it requires a (Code::Blocks) code change and not just some configuration somewhere?
