If I debug my C++ code using eclipse CDT, it appears that it always starts the debugging process from the main() function, even though there is no breakpoint at the beginning of the main().
Is there a way to have eclipse CDT start to debug from the first breakpoint rather than main()?
On the menu Run -> Debug Configurations, right click the C/C++ Applications item on the left, and create New configuration. Go to the Debugger tab and uncheck the Stop on startup at checkbox.
Open "Debug Configurations" GUI
Choose your application
Select "Debugger" tab
Uncheck "Stop on startup at main"

I am new to Xamarin Studio. I am trying to set a breakpoint in a C++ project's automatically created main.cpp file, which contains a hello world line only. I am on Xamarin Studio Community 5.10.3 (build 51) on Mac. The solution is created from a template in Other->Miscellaneous->C/C++->Console Project->CPP. While debugging I am setting a breakpoint but execution won't stop at the breakpoint. How to make the debugger to stop there?
There should be two options to run the program, "Start Without Debugging" and "Start With Debugging" under the "Run" toolbar at the top. You must use the second option to have the program stop at the breakpoint. Are you running the program with the little "run" arrow icon? If so, that starts the program without the debugger. You must select the "Start With Debugging" option under the "Run" toolbar.
In Netbeans 8, I'm debugging a C++ project. But I dont seem to find where to config gdb to "break on exceptions".
I go to main menu "Tools" -> "Options" -> "C/C++" -> tab "Debugging Options". Nothing found. Could this be a bug? (The options dialog is different than for a Java project).
(In Eclipse CDT, when debugging, there's a way to access the gdb session to manually issue a "catch throw", there is no such thing in Netbeans).
Naa, found it, in Menu Windows -> Debugging -> Debugging Console.
Then you can issue the "catch throw" there.
I repeatedly debug a program in Eclipse CDT in instruction stepping mode, i.e. a "step over" causes the next assembler/machine code instruction to be executed rather than the next line of C/C++ code.
Because I do it over and over again, it nags me to have to press the "instruction stepping" button again for every execution. Is there a way to enable it by default? I tried to find it in the debug configuration settings of the program that I debug, but I didn't find it there.
By default local launch is using new debugging framework called DSF which
does not remember this settings (at least in mars), however old one did remember it.
You can switch to old one using the following steps:
Open launch configuration
Click on link at the bottom to switch Launcher (on any page)
Select "Legacy Create Process Launcher"
If you use this one now if you press instruction stepping mode it will remember it for the next session
Does anyone know why my Eclipse (3.8 with cdt plugin) starts debugging as soon as I click on the debug button?
It normally should go to the perspective and wait for me to click start/resume button.
thanks
I'm using Eclipse 3.5.1 on Ubuntu 9.10, with CDT 1.0.0.200909110608
If I right-click the left margin for a context menu, Toggle Breakpoint, Enable Breakpoint and Breakpoint Properties are all grayed-out.
How can I enable these?
Apart from breakpoints, the debugger and the rest of CDT are working fine.
Check Run->Breakpoint Types->C/C++ Breakpoints
Turn off "Skip all Breakpoints". That worked for me.
