Hi All,
While debugging, Local Variables window does not show all variables when I step into a function. e.g. in the code below it will only show variable "status", that's it, but I want to see s and m_sock.
1) How do I set debugger to show all variables that are in the scope of the function I am stepping into?
2) How can I hover over the variable and see its value?
bool Socket::send ( const std::string s ) const
{
int status = ::send ( m_sock, s.c_str(), s.size(), MSG_NOSIGNAL );
if ( status == -1 )
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
THX!
Hm, you're missing the definition of local variables....
s is a function argument, not a local var
m_sock is member of the class, not a local var again...
I am not missing anything, my function is fully legitimate. It's true that those are not local variables, however my questions are:
1) How do I set up Codeblocks to show all variables that are in the scope (not only local variables) of the function I am stepping into?
2) How can I hover over the variable and see its value?
1. You can't, as far as I know, GDB doesn't support such feature.
2. See the debugger settings for the second question. The option is called 'Evaluate expression under cursor'
keep in mind you can add any variables to the watch list and see them whether they are in scope or not.

2) Works - Thank you!
Concerning 1): since #2 works - I can hover over any variable, including local, global, and class members and I can see the value while I am inside a function, then such feature is supported by gdb. It's just a matter of Codeblocks having a window to display the values of all those variables.
I think I'll post another thread.
