I have been struggling with the same issue. I need to get a hex number from an edit box, so I used an EditField called editHex, and converted to a string using

char HexDigits[MAX_HEX_CHARACTERS + 1];
UINT8 DataOut[MAX_HEX_CHARACTERS/2 ];

strcpy(HexDigits, editHex.GetText().ToString());
GetHexValue(DataOut, HexDigits);

GetHexValue reads the string and does the conversion.

This works fine if I just execute the program. But if run in the debugger and set a breakpoint on the strcpy line, I get the Microsoft "crash" dialog box with the message.

"gdb.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

If I comment out the strcpy, then gdb does not crash. I am using the windows version with the minGW compiler and the internal debugger. The EditField length is set to MAX_HEX_CHARACTERS.

Am I doing something wrong?
