@Morten that's great news. Would you mind telling me how to set this up?
Thanks.

MS's debugger is only if you use Visual C++ compiler, if you use GCC there is no point it trying it. The debug symbols format is different.

If you still want to use MS's debugger search for CDB, but this is not for beginners. And it works worse than GDB.

@obfuscated thanks for taking the time. Such great pity. I suppose I'll use cb for coding and VS for debugging. How you organize your work? Surely you do not debug in cb?

I'm on Linux and I debug with C::B, but I'm using the debugger's branch.

@obfuscated I also use debugger branch but it doesn't show symbols + their values and that's make it unusable for me.

Hm, does it work for "int a=5", type of variables?
If it doesn't you have mis-configured something.
