[Dev-C++] Debug

[<ric...@rc...>]

Every time I trie to debug my program I get a message that there isn't =
any debug information and ask if I would like to turn on this feature, I =
say yes it compiles but every thing stays the same, I press debug, I get =
the same message, I say yes, ...

I've look in the help, I've configured the options, but I get always the =
same result,

What can I do?

Hi,

Probably you are trying to compile a project, so check if you have turned o=
n=20
debugging information for your project:

Project -> Project Options. Click in "Compiler" and "Linker". Using the dro=
p=20
down menu say "yes" to "Generate debugging information". Hit the OK button=
=20
and it's done.

I hope this has solved your problem :-)

In Project Options dialog click Compiler tab. Click Linker in the left 
list and set Strip executable to No and Generate debugging information 
to Yes in the right list. Click OK and then click Execute/Rebuild All in 
the menu to completely recompile the project (or use toolbar icon or 
keyboard shortcut instead).

Make sure that Strip executable is set to No because it overrides both 
debugging and profiling information settings. Also make sure that you 
completely rebuild the project because if you do not, the debugging 
information will be incomplete and useless.

What does strip executable actually do?  I use this option during a
compile for a release, along with full optimizations.  However it only
seems to decrease the executable size minimally.

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

strip removes comments and type information from the binary.

For a reliease build, there is very little garbage that may be removed
from the binary. For a debug build, huge amounts of extra data is stored
in the binary - path and name to all source files, data types and
addresses of all variables, names and parameter information for all
functions etc, etc.

I've done that (that's the default mode) but I get the same problem

I can't add a watch to a variable and every time I turn a breakpoint on, de 
debug mode stops working
