When I use conditional breakpoint in VS2005 instead of using temporary code to check specific conditions, I noticed it takes more time and the execution speed is decreased!! Do you know why? and how to resolve this issue? Exmaple: int sequence = atoi(m_SequenceNumber.GetAscii()); if( sequence == 392914)//temporary code to check...
I would like to know from where inside a huge application a certain message is printed. The application is so big and old that it uses all conceivable ways of printing text to the terminal; for example printf(), fprintf(stdout, ...) etc. I write to put a breakpoint on the write() system call but then I'm flooded with too many breakpoint...
After spending a little time wondering why my app was running a particular scenario very slowly with the debugger attached, I discovered that this was due to having a conditional breakpoint (whose condition was never being met). This seems reasonable, as the CPU would signal the breakpoint and VS would need to evaluate the condition bef...
I have a piece of code in front of me that iterates through a long list of urls and something is going wrong when those urls include a certain type of document. I don't want to see every iteration, so I've set up a conditional breakpoint. The trouble is that I'm not a C++ programmer so I'm slightly having to fish around to work out how ...
Hi everyone We have a memory overwrite problem. At some point, during the course of our program, a memory location is being overwritten and causing our program to crash. the problem happens only in release mode. when in debug, all is well. that is a classic C/C++ bug, and a very hard one to locate. I wondered if there's a way to add s...
Suppose I have this function: std::string Func1 (std::string myString) { //do some string processing std::string newString == Func2(myString) return newString; } how do I set a conditional break when newString has a specific value ? (without changing the source) setting a condition newString == "my value" didn't work ...
Will this be possible? In F# or C#? Both? For example, I would like to set a conditional breakpoint in a F# program like that: [x] Condition: myTuple == (3,3) (o) Is true (_) Has changed Thanks. ...
Is there a way to debug code on Visual C++ 2008 Express, such as I can watch a variable for certain value(s) and, when it assumes this value, to break? For instance, I want to break when xbecomes 5. In gdb I would set a breakpoint then a condition that x == 5. How can I do it (if possible) on Visual C++ 2008 Express? ...
I want to set breakpoint on certain line in C# code when some other variable is equal to specific value say MyStringVariable == "LKOH" Please suggest. I tried right click on breakpoint icon->Condition then typed MyStringVariable == "LKOH" and Visual Studio is saying cannot evalute. ...
I need to log some data when some functions are hit, both at the start of execution and and the end of it. While i have no problem with putting breakpoints at the start of the functions(using bu [module]!functionname, I dont know how to put a breakpoint at the end of a function, SUCH THAT i dont need to edit the breakpoint everytime i ad...
Visual Studio has always been able to do this - if you know a mem loc then you can set conditional breakpoints when that mem loc's value changes to a particular value or changes at all. Is that what Symbolic breakpoints are for in XCode? If so, I cannot see how to do this. Thx, Tom ...
Hi, I'm trying to simplify my debugging tasks and I had an idea which could increase my debugging speed. Suppose I have a value, say 2.8651 that appear in the code at a moment I do not know. I'm wondering if it was possible to create a super breakpoint which would stop at the first time one of the variable takes this value. I recall ...
Is there a way to put a breakpoint on any function in Visual Studio, sort of like bm kernel32!LoadLib* in WinDbg? I know one way is to break at application start, find the required DLL load address, then add offset to required function you can get via Depends, and create a breakpoint on address. But that's really slow, and switching to ...
