Re: [Dev-C++] Multi-threaded debugging in Dev-C++

[Alfred P. R. <al...@ya...>]

I haven't tried it yet with Insight.  I did do an application back about a year ago that was a plug-in for GIMP (GIMP and plug-in where seperate threads).  It required a do-nothing loop with a variable that you could clear to exit the loop with once you attached it to GDB.  It was actually a pain in the butt, but GDB worked well once I figured out how to use it correctly.  This was the command line version of GDB instead of Insight, and was Dev-C++ 4.9.9.0 if I recall correctly.
 
The GDB entry is as follows:
 
#ifdef DEBUG
    do {
        shapefs.d_c();
    } while (d_l == TRUE); // Make this variable FALSE to continue with program flow.
#endif

void GIMP_SFS::d_c (void)
{ /* If DEBUG is defined, will loop in this function forever until attached by
    the debugger and the value d_l set to FALSE.
 */
    d_v = ~d_v; // Just something to do.
}
