can't debug effectively in win32...

[dmoore]

because breakpoints refuse to set.

Code

Debugger name and version: GNU gdb 5.2.1
No source file named C:/source/codeblocks_src/trunk/src/plugins/classwizard/classwizard.cpp.

before I start posting more detailed debug logs etc. what version of gdb is supported?

[dmoore]

from the debugger (debug) log

Code

can't add breakpoints for any of the sdk. now trigger a breakpoint and add a breakpoint to an sdk file

Code

Breakpoint 1, CompilerSettingsDlg::AddPluginPanels() (this=0x22f41c) at C:/source/codeblocks_src/trunk/src/src/compilersettingsdlg.cpp:129

Code

Debugger name and version: GNU gdb 5.2.1

before I start posting more detailed debug logs etc. what version of gdb is supported?

Search the forum - It's 6.3.2 IMHO (at least it's better not to use 5.x).
With regards, Morten.

[mandrav]

what version of gdb is supported?

Versions 6.x and up are known to work well.

[dmoore]

thanks morten.

I suspect this 5.x version works ok...

Code

Adding source dir: C:\source\codeblocks_src\trunk\src\

how do i add additional directories?

[dmoore]

I'll also upgrade...

[MortenMacFly]

how do i add additional directories?

Either via debugger initialisation commands or maybe the following is enough:
Settings -> Compiler and debugger -> Debugger settings ->
Enable "Add other project's path in the debuggers search list".
With regards, Morten.

[dmoore]

tried project properties -> debugger search dirs... still doesn't help. must be the gdb version

[dmoore]

ok, really stupid question, where do i get the latest stable gdb from? the mingw package that I found only contains v5.2

[Biplab]

Read the following thread for the latest GDB snapshot link.

[dmoore]

thanks biplab - the mingw sourceforge site is a bit of a mess...

new version installed:

Code

> break "C:/source/codeblocks_src/trunk/src/sdk/cbeditor.cpp:1162"
No source file named C:/source/codeblocks_src/trunk/src/sdk/cbeditor.cpp.
Breakpoint 1 ("C:/source/codeblocks_src/trunk/src/sdk/cbeditor.cpp:1162) pending.

the 6.x series must force the breakpoints?

[David Perfors]

Workaround:
put a breakpoint in src/src/app.cpp and run again after this one....

[TDragon]

Note that that message doesn't necessarily indicate an error, or that the breakpoint won't be hit; I see it all the time, but still break at those breakpoints.

[dmoore]

i should clarify -- with 6.x the breakpoint is set despite the "No source file named..." whereas in 5.x the breakpoint doesn't get set.

This message is normal when you put breakpoints in files existing inside DLLs. That's what the message is telling you: it will try to resolve the breakpoint when each DLL is loaded.
