Hi All,
While debugging, Local Variables window does not show all variables when I step into a function. e.g. in the code below it will only show variable "status", that's it, but I want to see s and m_sock.
1) How do I set debugger to show all variables that are in the scope of the function I am stepping into?
2) How can I hover over the variable and see its value?
bool Socket::send ( const std::string s ) const
{
int status = ::send ( m_sock, s.c_str(), s.size(), MSG_NOSIGNAL );
if ( status == -1 )
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
THX!

Hm, you're missing the definition of local variables....
s is a function argument, not a local var
m_sock is member of the class, not a local var again...

I am not missing anything, my function is fully legitimate. It's true that those are not local variables, however my questions are:
1) How do I set up Codeblocks to show all variables that are in the scope (not only local variables) of the function I am stepping into?
2) How can I hover over the variable and see its value?

1. You can't, as far as I know, GDB doesn't support such feature.
2. See the debugger settings for the second question. The option is called 'Evaluate expression under cursor'
-
keep in mind you can add any variables to the watch list and see them whether they are in scope or not.

2) Works - Thank you!
Concerning 1): since #2 works - I can hover over any variable, including local, global, and class members and I can see the value while I am inside a function, then such feature is supported by gdb. It's just a matter of Codeblocks having a window to display the values of all those variables.
I think I'll post another thread.
