Bug 19352 - Code::Blocks History

Bug #19352 2014-04-16 13:27

kneo

Debugging does not start when program arguments are set

Using Windows 7 x64 with Code::Blocks. (probleme persists in 12.11 and 13.11) Debugging with GDB.

How To Reproduce:

- Create a new "console application" project

- set a breakpoint at the "cout << ..." line

- debug (which now works)

Now:

- Set following program arguments (Project -> Set program' arguments):

D:\ D:\

(in the particular case I used a longer path but the effect is the same. Set two times the D:\ root directory as arguments)

- Debug (which now fails)

-> the debugger simply does not run the program

-> it seems to hang since nothing happens

-> also clicking the red "x" will not stop debugging (killing the gdb process does the trick)

Fix: set Arguments in double Quotes.

"D:\" "D:\" worked for me.

It took me hours to find the workaround for this bug. It is quite annoying since everything works with new clean projects as well as the day before with everything set as it was.

Nobody would expect this to be the cause.

Can you post the full log from the debugger? (see the settings how to enable it)

Of course! As a matter of fact, I checked out this with my original project again and now it worked what ever you set in the programm settings. With or without qoutes.

So I used the method I described above to reproduce the problem. So the debugger still hangs, yet I can not say of it is related anyhow the the Quotes. I add the Log of the working with the Quotes as well.

I would gladly provide the project files as well. I don't know how to attach files to this bug.

tpetrov 2014-05-13 18:20

No need for a project, I'm able to reproduce it on linux, too.
