Using "Pause when execution ends" checkbox

[paulkinzelman]

I'm using CL 2.9.0.4684, VistaSP2 and doing a console app with a DLL project as well.

When I run it with no breakpoints, it'd be nice to pause the termination at the end so I can see what's on the console before the console window is deleted. I have to put a breakpoint at the final return at the end of the main routine to be able to see this.

Under Project Settings | Common Settings | General
there's a box "Pause when execution ends" which sounds like it should do this, but when I check it, there's no change, the execution doesn't pause at the end before the console window is deleted.

I looked in the .project file and found the line:
<General OutputFile="$(IntermediateDirectory)/$(ProjectName)" IntermediateDirectory="./Debug" Command="./$(ProjectName)" CommandArguments="0 1 0 -10 29.92 1000 15000 5 0 0 0 0 2000 0" UseSeparateDebugArgs="no" DebugArguments="" WorkingDirectory="$(IntermediateDirectory)" PauseExecWhenProcTerminates="yes"/>
which sounds like the checkbox is checked and it ought to pause.

I noticed another thread concerning pausing talking about hard-drive D: as if that has something to do with it. In my case, however, everything is on drive C:

You are correct, this is exactly what this checkbox should do.

Can you paste here the output from the 'Ouptut' window?

[I checked to make sure, and that checkbox is checked.
Also I have two independent workspaces, my tiny test environment, and my real program, and they both work the same way with respect to not pausing with that box checked so I doubt corruption of my workspace.
I'd also be happy to post my small DLL test environment if you'd like.]

The fact that you are pasting the gdb tells me whats wrong:
This checkbox is suppose to work only for executing the program NOT under the debugger (Ctrl-F5)

it has no effect what so ever on debug session.
