Hello,
I've installed Code::Blocks and so far I'm very impressed. You all created an excellent program.
I have a question regarding the debugging method though. Is there a way to visually debug your code in Code::Blocks like you can in Visual Studio? I've been experimenting with the controls a bit but cannot get CB to do this. It just seems to debug in a text format only and only to resolve any errors or warnings and thats it.
If you're not sure what I mean, here's an example.
In VS, you can create a 'break point' then when debugging, you can follow the yellow arrow one statement at a time to debug your code to see if it's doing what you want.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Yes, you can... it is very similar to the way debugging is done in VStudio...
Does "Debug -> Start" works? Do you have GDB (if you use the gcc compiler) or CDB (if you use Visual C++ compiler) installed?
oBFusCATed,
Thanks for your help.
I don't have gcc or vc++ on this computer. My other comp, (dont have access to right now) does have VS installed.
As far as the Debug -> start working it's never active. I try hitting F8 but that does nothing either. But then again, it might be where I'm trying to activate it but it shouldn't make a difference. One project I'm working on is a Console Project where Debug start never activates. However, when creating a WIN32 GUI project, I am able to debug, atleast run it to cursor, but not able to visually step through the code like I want.
Hello,
Never mind. I got it to work.
Fresh install did the trick.
Thanks for your help.
it would be usefull to have a behaviour more similar with visual studio or eclipse; in watches, the possibility to auto-deferance a pointer and instead of right click / Deferance.
Yes, that will be possible someday....
If you have lots of free time you can try the debugger branch and my gdbmi plugin.
