Hello, I have some questions/problems about debugging with code::blocks:

1. Why it is not possible to set breakpoints when the debugger is started?
2. Is it possible to continue the program at different point? I found that gdb can do it here: http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb_15.html#SEC147

Have these been implemented or planned for implementation in near future? If not how hard will it be for a newbie(me) in c::b development to implement them?

3. When I make a change to the code and hit "debug start" button, c::b locks with 100% cpu usage and have to kill it :lol:

I'm using svn build (I don't remeber when updated, but it was soon enough) under gentoo 64bit linux (I think on win32 the behaviour was the same).

Cannot reproduce. Do you have a minimalistic project to demonstrate and a more detailed step-by-step instruction?
With regards, Morten.

I've run into this problem with a cross-platform project that has backtick expressions for various settings, e.g. `wx-config --libs`.  Under Windows, these are evaluated ok during a normal build, but for some it hangs when the build is launched by a request to start the debugger. 

I traced it far enough to see that it appears the launched command process never completes, but once I saw what was going on, I used the handy new platform feature to mark this target for Unix only.  (Our Windows target only uses path names.)

Hm, may be the crashes were on windows. I've just tested on linux and there is no problem, it runs ok.
My project is SDL project, so I use `sdl-config --cflags`. Thanks for the enlightening :)

      Okay, I should have given more info on this here. But I was at work, so there was no code::blocks to refresh my memory :oops:
So, the real problem is that I can't set breakpoint when the application is running (to make it stop), only when it is stopped on a breakpoint, then I can set/unset what ever I want.
Is is possible to be implement this feature?

     Thank you for your responses, and keep up the good work   :wink:
