Program doesn't stop at breakpoints

[OLiverr]

Hello,

first of all, great IDE, always searched for a good Visual Studio alternative for Linux.

So after a while I decided to try the current svn version (r2724). The problem is: the debugger doesn't work properly anymore. When I set a breakpoint, Codelite detects it (i.e. I see this green arrow) but the program itself continue running and I can't debug at all.

First let me start by saying: it works for me (Win, Mac and Linux)

Now seriously:

1. from settings -> debugger settings -> enable full logging
2. make sure your program is complied with -g (do re-build if you need)
3. try to debug it and paste here the 'Debugger' tab output

Ok, done, here we are. In one version of yesterday I believe there was an error in the "Trace"-Tab, something about "broken pipe", but not it is disappeared. o.O

Well, looking at this debugger log, I dont see any problem...

according to the debugger log, you should be now at:
/home/oliver/siedler25/trunk/src/GameManager.cpp",fullname="/home/oliver/siedler25/trunk/src/GameManager.cpp, line 211...

Is this not the case?

Yes, im actually there, but the program (which should be debugged) continue running. In the editor I just see the green arrow which stays there und if I press F10 e.g. nothing happens. Btw: if i click "stop debugging" nothing happens as well, somehow as if the connection between Codelite und gdb is half-broken. o.O

edit: The "stop debugging" only doesn't work when it hangs in the break point.

[eranif]

Have u tried to debug it from the command line?
EDIT: One other thing, when u hit F10, what happens? (in the debugger log)

You can also try and talk to gdb from the debugger tab (at the bottom of that tab there is a text control which u can send commands to gdb).

When it hangs and I press F10 nothing happens, but I get a error message in the Trace-Tab:

Error: can't write to file descriptor 16 (error 32: Broken pipe)

Apparently it works for the first part of the program (step by step), but when a singleton is created the program starts running and seems not to care of the debugger. Maybe a gdb problem, but I thought it works with the stable version.

edit: Hmm, it IS a gdb problem, it always loses control in a singleton method. Very strange, anyway.

Good to hear that

Hi,

new experience: I tested it on another distribution (arch) und with the plain gdb (console) it works, but in Codelite not. So I disabled the auto resolving of this and voila, it works too. Any idea why? The Singleton is implemented as a baseclass with a static "me"-member.

You might want to enable full debugger logging and try to debug it again from within codelite.

to enable the debugger logging: settings -> debugger settings ... -> tick 'enable full logging'

Paste here the output from the 'Debug' tab
