My problem is that in Windows, I can no longer debug a program. It worked before, I think I fixed it, something perhaps to do with paths with spaces, now its not working. First I re-installed 20.03 CodeBlocks, then I tried just the hello world command line example as follows.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello world!\n");
return 0;
}
If I set a breakpoint on the printf and start debugging I get the following in the debug window

Debugger finished with status 1
And after a couple of seconds it throws the "Debugger Finished with status 1" no matter what I try to do. Only thing I can think of is something has become corrupt in the configuration files. I have noticed it is a bad idea to try to use a Linux config on windows so now use seperate configs. I have googled this issue but not found an answer!
The debugger shipped with 20.03 is known to be broken.
Search the forum for topics about working debuggers...
The debugger is external to the nightly, so it will use whatever debugger you have previously.
