Debugger ignore breakpoint in headerfile [message #4216]

Hello altogether,
first i want say, you did a wonderful work. I'm very impressed
about all those features UPP have. Smile

So I get confused that the debugger ignored breakpoints
in headerfiles. The reason is: I enclosed my headers,
except for the STL, in doubleqoutes e.g.:
#include "hyperclass.hpp" <--- Breakpoints will be ignored
Now i find the workaround:
#include <mainPackage/hyperclass.hpp> <--- Now it works Smile

But i think it's not a bug, it's a feature, so i can organize
my code better Smile

BTW, please tell me, how can i make the debugger stop, if an
error occur? The option "Stop on Error" is aktivated.

Many thanks in advance Smile

You give quite a little info.. Which compiler, what platform?

In fact, there are now two debuggers in TheIDE

- debugger for Microsoft compiler. That one is much more advanced and much more code is in TheIDE itself - it just uses dbghelp.dll library to get symbolic info from the executable, does rest in our code

- debugger for GCC (mingw) - just GUI frontend to GDB (unfortunately).

Both are limited by tools they use. dbghelp.dll sometimes does not return correct symbol info (and then yet again, sometimes it is not well interpreted by us), gdb has even more problems...

I'm sorry to forget to tell that Rolling Eyes

Well, I'm using gcc 3.4.1 and W2000 with the latest servicepack.
And UPP605 with gcc included. Because I migrated my project from
codeblocks i used first gcc included in codeblock and later the
gcc included in UPP. Both compiler behave the same way. I don't
have the M$ compiler, but i will try to use it. I hope this can
help you Smile

Then, unfortunately, the problem is very likely inside gdb....

The only thing we can do is to test whether we are supplying the correct info to GDB. In "Verbose mode" TheIDE will log all comunications it does with GDB....

Hi Mirek,
i think the gdb isn't as perfect at all. In codeblock the gdb
ignores breakpoints in constructors and destructors... For this
cases i use a dummy function placed in the ctors or dtors, set a
breakpoint in the dummy function and voila. Stoneage methods but
it works Very Happy

The gdb isn't really a reason to stop using UPP Smile

Many thanks,
Thomas

Well, maybe some day in distant future somebody will have enough time to undestand the library that provides the symbolic information for GDB and create better GCC debugger for U++...
