Title: Breakpoints not working
Post by: ViejoCatu on May 08, 2008, 03:38:49 am

Hi,

I'm trying to debug a protect in code::blocks, but the breakpoints doesn't seem to work, the program doesn't stop its execution.

here's the log:
*******************************************
Building to ensure sources are up-to-date

Child process PID: 400
Program exited normally.
Debugger finished with status 0
********************************************

As you can see, it says "breakpoint 1 ... pending".

the project is compiled with the -g (debugging symbols) and compiler optimization switches turned off.

Can anyone help me out?

Thx.

Avoid putting your projects in paths with special characters like ().

Hi,
I have also seen than, sometimes, last gdb versions works better when your project has no blank characters inside path name. For example, in your case, you have 2 blanks characters, in "My Documents" and in "LAB 04". When this happen for me, I copy the whole project in a temporary folder, directly at the disk root (D:\tempLab04 for example) and it works ! :)
