c++.idde - Debugger probs

reply "Heinz-Peter Nuettgens" <hnuettgens t-online.de> writes:
Some of my problems concerning the debugger:

- Starting the debug session there are breakpoints never defined before ?

- The data values dont always repesent their real values, sometimes they are
updated but sometimes not ?

- Breaking the program run sometimes fails. After a second try, if it
suceeds, there is such a breakpoint in the code,  which cannot be replaced.
Then the program cannot run further.

- Sometimes the "show pointer as array" doesnt function properly. This
occurs with pointers to arrays of structures.

- After reaching a code breakpoint, the idde with debugger doesnt become top
window. Only the source code window comes to front. Closing it brings the
rest to top. Sometimes the whole system crashes with an error.

- There are problems debugging multithreaded applications. Reaching a
breakpoint you see windows of other threads and you are stepping in those
threads, but not in the one with the breakpoint.

- Closing a window sometimes crashes the whole system.

others will follow :-))

I've got some bad news - the debugger bugs will stay until I can find
someone who wants to fix it. I'm not sure what to do about this problem. But
I do thank you for posting the problems, they'll be saved for when the
debugger does get fixed. -Walter

It's partially a limited debugger...
However... If I only had the time... <g>
Only slept 5 hours last night... Being a little in a time crunch...

Hi Jan,

first I thank you and Walter for your support.
