Can someone please help me get this stupid Debugger to work please?
i use Dev C++ 5.0 and the only debugger that opens is a command window with <gdb> and thats it.
on other screens and in the book im reading, i think they use an insight one where its visual as it debuggs. but i cannot find it anywhere in my directory.
anyone else ever had this and fixed it?
Gdb isn't so bad...
type: "run" to start the program.
type: "break function_name" to stop at a particular function
type: "c" to continue execution after a break
type: "s" to step into a function
type: "n" to step over a function
type: "print x" to print the variable x
type: "help" for other ideas.
Gdb is the standard on many unix systems, so it's a great command line debugger to become familiar with...
yeh but when i type run, a load of rubbish types up on screen with loadsa numbers
cant work it out, never mind ill have to go without it lol
type "break main"
type "run"
and see if you stop in main.
Make sure you compiled with debug symbols (usually -g qualifier on the compile command).
