Debugger on windows 7 not working

[joecode]

Am getting lost trying to make the debugger work. Just installed the latest version hoping that would help but didn't do anything. I'm looking at Settings->GDB Settings thinking something in here not configured right. But I don't know what that might be. Please see attached. Is there some kind of detailed logging get turned onto shed some light? Thanks for any help.

Win7 Professional 64 bit Service Pack1; CodeLite IDE 9.2.0

Am able to run a simple program but when I set a breakpoint and run the debugger F5 something is happening but it's not breaking.

Code: Select all

int main() {
    time_t now = time(0);
    char* dt = ctime(&now);
    std::cout << "The local date and time is: " << dt << std::endl;
}

Debug build

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin/mingw32-make.exe -j4 SHELL=cmd.exe -e -f  Makefile
"----------Building project:[ PassString2 - Debug ]----------"
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/joe/Documents/CodeLite1/PassString2'

mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Users/joe/Documents/CodeLite1/PassString2'
====0 errors, 0 warnings====

After a few seconds a WerFault.exe window pops up:

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Looks like your GDB crashed... I am not sure what can we do about it
Which build of GCC are you using? ( I am using TDM-GCC-4.9.3/64 bit)

Hopefully there has been no offense by this very long delay in a response. Or at most just a slight offense? Had too many other projects going on at once.

Version is tdm64-gcc-5.1.0-2.exe from http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download.

Was hoping for find a lightweight compiler for C++ learning.

Non taken

Did you try using a different version of GCC?

Eran

[joecode]

Gave it a try with
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gc ... e/download but still same results.

MIght have missed something with the CodeLite where a re-configuration is needed after uninstalling and reinstalling the debugger.

[eranif]

Once you install a new compiler, you need to "tell" CodeLite about it from:
Settings->Build Settings, and click on the "Scan for new compilers on this machine" button

CodeLite should pick you new compiler.

Next, right click on the project settings->general page, and under "Compiler" field, select the newly installed compiler.
(The gdb is part of the compiler toolchain, so when changing the compiler for the project you are also changing the compiler that it will use)

Uninstalled CodeLite and GCC and then reinstalled both. When running in debug it hangs for about 15 seconds then dies. No visible feedback that something went wrong. Took a look at eventviewer and saw lots of errors. I'm thinking these errors were being logged all along. It says something about the exception happening at offset 00000000001ecd1f.

My machine has a full blown C++ Visual Studio 2015 on it. Maybe this is messing up the CodeLite debugger? I originally tried working with VS 2015 C++ IDE but it was just too confusing to figure out how to make a simple stripped down bare bones C++ program.

You should report this to the GDB team, it's useless to report it here

Ok will see if I can taker it to GDB team. Thanks for your responses.
