Getting rid of the disassemby window!

[pir]

I am trying to debug some code but when I single-step through, I get the disassembly window. How can I just step through the C statements without needing umpteen mouse clicks to step through the equivalent assembler?

I am sure an earlier nightly build did this fine but the default now seems to be the disassembly window. Can anyone tell me how to select single-stepping through the high-level code?

I'm having the same issue. It used to be that one mouse click stepped one line, but all of a sudden the next time I opened codeblock the disassembly window shows and I don't seem to be able to turn it off permanently (keeps getting reactivated). And I'm quite sure I haven't updated since my initial install. So to me it seems codeblocks just felt like bitching.

Other than that codeblocks has been a sweet experience.

What would be the proper way to disable the disassembly window permanently!?

... but all of a sudden the next time I opened codeblock the disassembly window shows ...

Worrying!

BTW: Dan, Have you tried Insight? I don't which OS/compiler you are using but I am using mingw for which there is a port. Unfortuantley, you have to run it externally to C::B. (It seems you have to run the insight executable from within the Msys shell which isn't written down anywhere!) Running gdb from within CodeBlocks, my program just stopped with a large return code and that was it. But in Insight, I got a whole raft of diagnostics which pinpointed my bug exactly. Presumably it's a matter of what the spawning process does with information generated by gdb?

Still be interested in knowing how to single step C in C::B though...

Have you tried to close the disassembly window in the debugging-session and then save the current Layout under View -> Layouts ?

That doesn't appear to work...

Ahem, it seems the disassembly window only appears when I click Next instruction, which is probably the way it should be, maybe. If I click Next line everything is as it should be. Don't know why I started using next instruction all of a sudden. So problems solved or there never really was one for me. I was just goofy.

Other than that, I'm using Code::Blocks with mingw GCC and GDB quite successfully. Never heard of or used Insight. I'm not an experienced programmer (which you can probably tell by now).

Ah! A rather fine distinction but yes, "Next line" does work and "Next instruction" throws up the disassembly window. (Thinks: How many people actually debug at assembler level? I can't say I ever have in 20-odd years of programming!)

Nonetheless, Insight appears to be a much more 'complete' debugger. Well worth a look for those very obscure problems.
