debug under windows

[steph@cl]

Hello

Debugging under windows seems to work but sources are managed at all:
- current line is not shown
- source file is not changed when necessary

Same project under linux ubuntu works perfectly.

Is there anything I missed ? Is ther anything to do to make it work correctly ?

thanks

codelite version = v2.6.0.4189
codellite = download binaries
OS = windows vista


1) debugger
no log needed
gdb 6.8.0.20080328

errorneous behaviour describe in previous post

It is needed...
Obvisouly, if it was a common error I could guess what the problem is, since you are the first person complaining about it - there is something wrong with your setup (I never encountered this problem before)


FYI: codelite is just an interface to gdb, I *need* the log to see whether is it a bug in codelite (fails to parse gdb's output) or maybe gdb instruct it incorrectly..

If you still I don't need the gdb log, then I am afraid I can't help you here

The log can be obtained by simply enabling the option 'Enable Debugger Full Log' on top of the 'Debug' output window

Hope it will help.

OK, now I can see the problem:

You are using cygwin's gdb which uses cygwin paths, for example:

DEBUG>>00000029-file-list-exec-source-file
DEBUG>>00000030-break-list
DEBUG>>00000029^done,line="5",file="c:/temp/tst/tst/main.c",fullname="/cygdrive/c/temp/tst/tst/main.c",macro-info="0"

codelite uses the attribute 'fullname' to locate the current path, while under MinGW it will contain the native path, it looks like that when using the cygwin's gdb it will contain the cygwin path (/cygdrive/c/...)


Can you use a native gdb and not one that was configured to work under cygwin, or is it a limitation that you cant workaround?

If you can't workaround that (i.e. you must use cygwin gdb) than I think that a solution should be developed for codelite - the first idea that comes to my head is to add a new option in the debugger settings to allow mapping between cygwin root and the system native root (C:\ --> /cygdrive/c) by using this, codelite could convert the paths when needed

EDIT:
another option that comes to mind: assuming that the output is consistent, we could add a flag to codelite that instruct him to extract the source location from the attribute 'file' and not from 'fullname'

Attached is a patched codelite's debugger DLL.

- close codelite
- replace your current debugger dll with the one attached
- start codelite

Let me know if it fixes the problem

Hello,

changing cygwin toolchain (compiler/debugger) for mingw toolchain solve the problem


changing debugger.dll file solve the problem too


So now, I cleaned the mess with my toolchains and one can use cygwin with codelite under windows

Thanks

[eranif]

changing debugger.dll file solve the problem too

Thanks for verifying that the debugger indeed fixes the problem with cygwin toolchain.

I will include it in the next release

Unfortunately it does not solve the problem for me. The 'file' attribute from cygwin gdb contains the cygwin style filename as well.
Is there some option to use for cygwin gcc to fix this? Or could it be fixed in CodeLite?

If fixing this in CodeLite, I suggest to use 'cygpath -w %file%' instead of setting up links in CodeLite itself, as that would also work for symlinks and such.
