Hi I am using the Microsoft Visual Studio. I started the debugging process by hitting F5. I would want to stop the debug without stopping the application(Visual Studio). Any help is appreciated.
Shift+F5 or Stop Debugging will terminate the process.
Instead you want the Detach All command from the Debug menu.
shift + F5 in keyboard shortcut or click stop debugging button at the top right corner of the visual studio

Up until now, I have never had a problem with visual studio terminating the program after running. I have been using it for almost two years in c++. I have visual studio 2019. Now, I have to manually write system("pause");
at the bottom of main . It's not that its too much of a hassle, but I am curious if anyone knows why it would mysteriously stop automatically pausing?
Check that the automatically close the console when debugging stops is unchecked.
Tools > Options > Debugging > General > automatically close the console when debugging stops
Is there a line of source code in C++ that will pause execution and start the debugger? Basically, I'm looking for the Matlab keyboard functionality.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and compiling in Debug mode.
I know I can set a breakpoint in the source code editor, insert a desired list of command arguments in the project properties, and use the Debug > Start Debugging (F5) option. But I'd like to be able to run the program from the command line and still get to the Visual Studio debugger.
Use __debugbreak(). It sets a breakpoint in your code (something, that was achieved on x86 using __asm int 3; instruction).
When such breakpoint is encountered in application executed without debugger, you will be prompted to run it. You will see window similar to this one:
Then, you can run new instance of Visual Studio or attach already running one.
EDIT
Oh, one more thing: you can also attach debugger to any running process in your system.
In Visual Studio, click: Debug -> Attach to Process and then select desired process.
While mid debugging, what's the proper way to force exit debug mode. I didn't see the usual red square "stop" button like visual studio or eclipse.
Maybe key combination "Ctrl+F2" can help you.
I have written a program in vc++ that has different behavior in various case as below.
When I run it by F5 it works properly in release mode.
When I run it by ctrl + F5 it crashes when I start to send data to the program.
Outside of visual studio it crashes immediately.
I don't know how to find the bug. Any idea on
what is different between these cases?
Running ctrl + F5 will run the application without debugger.

This is not the same as running in release mode.
You can run your application in debug mode but without debugger.
It sounds stupid but is for example helpful if you want to stop the console from closing on exit. (How to stop console from closing on exit?)
You need to understand the difference between running an application in debug mode and release mode. F5 will generally help you to debug the application and ctrl + F5 will execute the application. There might be some issues in release mode that makes your vs to crash. Read this to get an understanding.
How can I plug debugger from VS to Code::Blocks?
Really couldn't find anything on the web.
Go to the code block (<%%>) in Visual Studio and press F9 on your keyboard to insert a breakpoint.
