VS2010 debugger takes an unreasonable amount of time

Anyone else dealt with VS2010 debug in C++ and have it just sit there for 30+ second each time you step? This is happening to me and the call stack window just has this grey thing that says "Busy..." in it during this freeze. The whole interface just locks down...each and every step I make and right now I'm trying to step through this ...

Problem with Visual Studio 2010 DataTips in a mixed C++/CLI assembly

I've recently switched to using Visual Studio 2010. I've got a problem where the DataTips (debugger tooltips) for STL types aren't loading correctly. For example, in the following code: int test( const std::string& inString ) { std::string aString( "Hello, World!" ); return aString.compare( inString ); } I don't get the exp...

Platform-independent C++ Debugger IDEs that follow pointers like Visual Studio

Visual Studio debugger automatically recognizes the types of pointers and shows the value of the variable or object pointed to by the pointer. Example screenshot for Ruby debugger here: http://www.rubyinside.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/jruby-debugger.jpg This applies to debugger tooltips, watch windows, etc. I never have to see t...

Debugging changed with XCode 3.2.3?

Recently switched from XCode 3.2.2 to 3.2.3 for iOS4 and i noticed that i can no longer view the values of my property variables or any variables for that matter in the debug window?

Cascading runtime errors in Java Swing

I'm currently integrating some new classes into an existing application. I have a JDialog which, when clicked, throws a number of runtime exceptions. I'm new to Java debugging - why would all of these Swing/AWT library functions be 'unavailable'? SO forbids me from posting images, so here's a link to a capture of the eclipse debugger:...

Eclipse Debugging: Stay within boundries of current project

When step-debugging in eclipse, is it possible to instruct the debugger to traverse only steps within my project's sources? I am debugging a rails application and much of the calls are moving through rails' infrastructure (such as activerecord) which I am not interested in following. I would prefer the step-debugger to skip these files,...

Debugging Assembly Code (Intel 8086)

I'm in an Assembly class focusing on the intel 8086 architecture (all compiling / linking / execution comes from running DOS on win7 via DOS-Box). I've finished programming the latest assignment, but as I have yet to program any program successfully the first time through, I am now stuck trying to debug my code. I have visual studio 20...

So, I went into the project's properties > Debug tab > Start Action and changed this setting from "Star...

How to extend the Visual Studio Debugger with an IronPython shell?

First the problem I am trying to solve: I'm debugging a C# application that has huge object graphs (think Building Information Models, a kind of object oriented CAD). When I hit a breakpoint, I generally have long lists of objects I'd first need to transform to be useful for debugging. In code, I use LINQ and lambdas to do this. But you...

Netbeans 6.1 Debugger stopped working with error com.sun.jdi.InternalException: Unexpected JDWP Error: 502

I have been using Netbeans 6.1 for a long time and my debugger has always been flawless. Somehow recently (within the last two weeks or so) my debugger stops at breakpoints but it either freezes most of the time or i can't find out the value of any variable, my local variables wont expand and my watches will sometimes show all nulls eve...

Viewing return code in debugger when the value is not assigned to a variable

In case of the following code: da.Fill(ds) Is it possible to view the return code from the Fill method in the Visual Studio debugger? If the following is the case: rc = da.Fill(ds) then it's not a problem, as the variable rc gets the value assigned, but there are cases when I can't modify the code and re-build. Thank you. Todd ...

No more gdb in XCode console when build for iPhone simulator

Usually I use gdb backtrace to debug my application, but recently I can no longer do it when testing on iPhone simulator. The blue gdb word stops being displayed on console, and nothing happens when I type "bt" or "backtrace". I can still build and debug properly on the device though. My XCode version is 3.2.3. Is there any way to manua...

Xcode debugger sometimes doesn't display variable values?

Debugging using emacs

Hello, GNU Emacs 23.2.1 GCC 4.4.4 I am using gdb-many-windows to debug. I am just wondering is there anything better? At the moment I am debugging a linked-list. The list is not that big. However, it would be nice to see all the elements' values. Instead of having to 'print sorted_queue->next->seconds' all the time. The watch comm...

VS 2008 C++ Debugger works only once

Hello, After a Windows update yesterday, I've run into a terrible problem. The debugger suddenly is creating issues. When I bring up Visual Studio from the start menu, the debugger appears to start, but there is no console window and nothing happens for a long time. But, if I start it from the VS command prompt, it works, but only once...

Eclipse & other Java IDEs for debugging concurrent code.

I'm currently working on some concurrent code that would appear to have a few race conditions in it. I'm attempting to debug the code using my current IDE, Eclipse, but I'm not completely satisfied. In particular, a race condition is present for a variable such that without a break point on one of the methods accessing it (the one 'getti...
