Hi,
Currently I am using Notepad as my editor, and Dev-C++ for compiling purposes only. However, I noticed that Dev-C++ can be used as an editor as well. I find it much easier to read the code on Dev-C++ due to the various color displays representing different functions, comments etc.
However, when I attempt to debug the codes, I am unable to use breakpoint debugging. I wish to use breakpoint debugging, and the watch function to check for changes in a variable's value within a loop.
I read through some tutorials on forums on the net and was unable to find an answer to this. If I cannot be able to perform breakpoint debugging on Dev-C++, I was thinking of setting up Quincy as my primary editor/ compiler.
Any tips on how to perform breakpoint debugging on Dev-C++?
Thanks,
Thileepan
How To Set A Breakpoint In Dev-c Windows 10
Set a breakpoint by clicking in the left margin of the Source Editor window next to line 33. Right-click the project and choose Debug Project. If the gdb debugger is installed correctly and the path to it is set, gdb starts up, the Debugger tabs are displayed, and the Welcome application runs and stops at. Jan 17, 2008 I haven't had any troubles using breakpoints in Dev-C; click the line, choose set breakpoint, and then hit 'F8' (I think) to run to breakpoint. Note that you can't run the file from the command line, or use the usual F9 shortcut key, as those will.
