Re: [cdt-dev] Re: Nightly Builds

Ok, After spending a while working on Real Work (tm) I finally got back and made this work. To be (hopefully) a little clearer, this is what I did:

    a. switch to the debug perspective
    b. "show" the Navigator view
    c. select the executable in the Navigator
    d. "Debug"->"Debug with"->"Start a C/C++ Application"

And Presto! C debugging!

A few things I noticed:

1. I can't seem to find the source files for C++. It just gives me "line 4 in main" (which really appears to be the 4th statment, but I may be counting strangely).

2. the outer frame is always __libc_start_main, which though technically correct, is not really useful and could prolly be 'invisible' by default.

3. I set a breakpoint in a 1 line function and it seemed to break at entry, in the middle, and at exit from the function.

BTW: the more I use it, the better it gets, which I like.

Hopefully I'll start getting my bearing to actually fix some of the stuff I find soon. Thanks for the help, yall!

In R1 we pop up a message box telling you to select something.  That same
code in R2
doesn't work right but we aren't fixing it because it is going away.  When
the Eclipse R2
transition to Launch Configurations is complete we expect to again give
useful feedback.
