    Hello,

    I've been having a really difficult time getting the debugging to work correctly in Dev-C++, so I downloaded the sources and tried to see what was going wrong. 

    It looks like the index of a breakpoint in Dev-C++ does not correspond to the index of the breakpoint in gdb, which would result the breakpoint disappearing in the editor but still existing in gdb.  It was a simple fix -- gdb just numbers their breakpoints sequentially, so I added a new field to the breakpoint class that holds this value.  When removing a breakpoint, I send this value not the index of the breakpoint in the array to gdb.

    It seems to work correctly now, but how do I submit my changes?  Do I just commit them to CVS with a message?  I imagine this is something the core developers would want to look at before added to the source permentantly...so I don't just want to commit it to CVS.

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, this is the first open source project I've contributed to.

    Thanks,
    Ricky

      Woohoo, a contributer!  *Heart warms*

      You might want to email Colin and tell him of your find/fix.

      the place to contribute patches would be http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=10639&atid=310639
      I personally prefer diff, but what you're going to submit is going to be fine (.zip, .pas, etc). One of the developers will apply the patch to the source.
      Is there a bug report associated with this fix?

      Thanks, Marek

      Hello,

      I uploaded my fixes to the patches section over a month ago and it doesn't look like anyone has noticed them.

      Did I put them in the wrong place?

      Thanks,
      Ricky

        Your fixes about the debugger have been applied, thank you.
        I will also look after your others fixes today or tomorrow, if you can provide a diff for those before i apply them that will be great.

        Greetings,
        Colin

      Awesome!

      Thank you. I added the diff of the other two patches (hopefully I did what you need). I marked the changes I made with my initials (RNC) so if the diff isn't right, you should be able to find where I made changes.

      Thanks again.
      Ricky
