debug command line application

Question

I'm wondering if it's possible to debug a command line application (where main received arguments argc, and **argv) in visual studio 2008?

Answer 1

Yes; it works the same way as in a GUI application. Set a breakpoint somewhere, and hit debug start.

Answer 2

Sure! Just set a breakpoint on main, and go to your project properties (under the Debug section if I remember right), then set the command-line arguments you want to debug with.

Answer 3

You can easily set the command arguments to the executable from within Visual Studio, in the Debugging screen under Configuration Properties (at least that's where it is in 2005).

Answer 4

Why wouldn't it be possible? Set a breakpoint and start debugging.
