Title: Passage program argument to the debugger
Post by: VincentB on June 11, 2013, 03:33:32 pm
Hello,

I am with C::B 12.11, and I have a problem with passing command line arguments to the gdb.

I configured the command line arguments with Project -> Set program's argument..., but when the debugger starts, it does not pass these arguments to the executable.

I am quite confused because this used to work on this same project. It seems that I have unwillingly done something wrong...

Any sort of help is most welcome.

First of all, you are not providing any information, other than the C::B version you are using.

What OS are you using?
What compiler and what kind of built, 32 or 64?

I have tested it on my system with breakpoints, passed my arguments, and worked just fine.

By the way: just a suggestion: is would be practical if one could cut&paste the codeblocks version information from the about window.

VincentB: Please enable the full log in Settings -> Debugger and paste it here using code tags  "[ code ]" without the spaces.

The only debugger issue I have right now is that it stays on "leave" step when I press F7 to follow the next line and does not end the program; I have to stop debugger myself. Oh well...

No related and cannot be fixed, because the result is what you've told it -> Step to the next line, which is somewhere in the compiler's code.

Hello,

Sorry for the disturbance I have caused. After enabling full log I realized that the arguments were passed correctly. My program was exiting very early for some other reason.

Thanks to oBFusCATed 8)  for the good suggestion.
