GDP debugger, string, and segmentation errors

[Forat]

Dear Code::Block community,

I using Code::Block 16.02 at my work, and 17.12 at my house.

and I am writing C++ programs, and I am creating a Code Block Project (.cbp) and using the debugger (GDP) to debug the program.

Alot of the times when I am using the string class, I get a segmentation error when debugging, it happens so random and so frequent.

I know the reason for that is because GDP debuggers have a problem with strings, but what is the solution, how can I remove the segmentation error.

Edit1
this is the code that caused Segmentation Error

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello world!" << endl;

    string s1("Hi how are you");

    for(int i = 0;i<s1.size();i++)
        cout<<s1.at(i)<<endl;

    return 0;
}

First: It is gdb most probably and not gbp, isn't it?
Second: Can you post the full debugger log from one such crash? Full logging must be enabled in the debugger settings.

I am not sure what do you mean by Full debugging must be enabled, but there is the log for the debugging

and I will edit (edit1) my post, and add the code that caused segmentation fault.

PN: couldn't add the whole log, as it exceeded 20000 characters

If the log is to long for the forum most it on pastebin and provide the link here.

I dont understand your problem fully, but i would recommend to deactivate the codeblocks internal watch scripts.
settings->debugger->gdb->watch scripts
or something like this. I am not on my pc to test this...

They are replaced by gdb internal scripts. You can search "gdb pretty print codeblocks" for more information
