Title: How to use "watch"?
Post by: TheUnusualGuy on October 16, 2019, 09:25:34 pm
How do I use the "watch" feature in Windows?
I have the following line:
void exp10ToExp2(struct Number *pn)
My professor, who runs Linux, is able to right-click the "*pn" and select watch "pn".
However, I'm unable to do the same on Windows.
The following timestamped link shows my professor doing it. https://youtu.be/iEDFTMjyeWk?t=793 (https://youtu.be/iEDFTMjyeWk?t=793)
I've found the Watches window (Debug > Debugging windows > Watches) but it doesn't have the data filled out like it shows on my professor's screen.

Are you able to stop on a break point?
What is the result in the full debugger log (enable it in Settings -> Debugger)?
Do you see the watches window (Debug -> Debugging windows -> Watches)?

My professor said that a yellow triangle should appear on the breakpoint, but it doesn't.
Here's the debugger info, to save space on the thread: https://www.heypasteit.com/clip/0ITAFU (https://www.heypasteit.com/clip/0ITAFU). It appears to be the same message twice.

Yes, I can see the watches window, but my professor was able to do this: https://youtu.be/y73kULpEfxA?t=764 (it shows the fields already filled in when he presses "watch")

You've not pasted the full debugger log...

Apologies.

This is the full debugger log after running the debugger once.

Weird, I've also just realized that I'm unable to type anything in the command: field as well.

Code
Starting debugger: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\gdb32\bin\gdb32.exe -G -lines -2 -y C:/Users/glf4tim/Desktop/double1/double1/; -srcpath C:/Users/glf4tim/Desktop/double1/double1/; C:/Users/glf4tim/Desktop/double1/double1/bin/Debug/double1.exe
done

[debug]C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\gdb32\bin\gdb32.exe: unrecognized option `-G'
[debug]Use `C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\gdb32\bin\gdb32.exe --help' for a complete list of options.
Obviously this is your problem. I guess you've set some options to gdb which you shouldn't have done.
Inspect the options in Settings -> Debugger and remove the things that won't work.

Thanks! It seems that I just had the wrong debugger type chosen!
Is this how the debugger log should appear to be? https://www.heypasteit.com/clip/0ITAK7

Yes, the log looks fine.
