Post by: Schmidti on October 25, 2006, 07:42:20 am

Is this possible with Code:Blocks?

Make sure your project is compiled with the -g compiler option.

Start the debugger, open the watches window from the debugger menu, set your breakpoints with a right click in the left margin of the target line, right click on the variable to watch.

Pecan, do you mind adding this to the WiKi? It has been asked soooo many times - so we could just point to that page then instead of repeating ourselves again and again...
With regards, Morten.

Edit: I vote placing the (initial) article here: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=User_documentation (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=User_documentation) under "Application development". Something like "Debugging with Code::Blocks" or so...

Oh, i have still two questions?

- Is it possible to number the Array in the Watches-Menu? Cause if you have a array with over 1000 data, its still impossible to see whats in the array[723].
- How can i watch a 2 dimemsion (or higher) Array? If i add it to the "Watches" its still only in one dimension!

I builded sucessfully CB from svn today (8792) and see that the automatic inclusion of local variables and function arguments have not being reimplemented yet.
This is  :(
A healthy debugger is imprescendible.
When do you think it will be working?

Another thing not related, my build show svn 0 instead 8792. Wonder why?

Regards
