15 <h1>Debugging a program</h1> |
|
16 |
|
17 <p>You must create a debug launch configuration the first time you debug your |
|
18 program.</p> |
|
19 |
|
20 <p>To create a debug configuration:</p> |
|
21 |
|
22 <ol> |
|
23 <li>In C/C++ Projects view, select a project. |
|
24 </li> |
|
25 <li>Click <b>Run > Debug</b>.</li> |
|
26 <li>In the Debug dialog box, select a debug configuration type from the <b>Configurations</b> |
|
27 list.</li> |
|
28 <li><p>Click <b>New</b>.</p></li> |
|
29 <li>In the <b>Name</b> box, type a descriptive name for this debug configuration.</li> |
|
30 <li>In the <b>Project</b> box, type the name of the project containing |
|
31 the application you want to debug.</li> |
|
32 <li>In the <b>C/C++ Application</b> box, type the name of the executable |
|
33 that you want to run.</li> |
|
34 <li>Click <b>Debug</b>.</li> |
|
35 <p>The debug perspective is opened and the application window opens on |
|
36 top. The C/C++ editor window is repositioned in the perspective.</p> |
|
37 </ol> |
|
38 |
|
39 <p>For more information:</p> |
|
40 <ul><li>To specify the |
|
41 execution arguments an application uses and the working directory for a run |
|
42 configuration, see <a href="cdt_t_run_arg.htm">Specifying execution arguments</a>.</li><li>To set the environment variables |
|
43 and values to use when an application runs, see <a href="cdt_t_run_env.htm"> |
|
44 Setting environment variables</a></li> |
|
45 <li>To select a debugger to use when debugging an application, see |
|
46 <a href="cdt_t_run_dbg.htm">Selecting a debugger</a></li> |
|
47 <li>To specify the location of source files used when debugging a C or C++ |
|
48 application, see <a href="cdt_t_run_source.htm">Specifying the location of |
|
49 source files</a></li> |
|
50 <li>To specify where the run configuration is stored, how you access it and |
|
51 what perspective to open when running an application, see |
|
52 <a href="cdt_t_run_com.htm">Specifying the location of the run configuration</a></li></ul> |
|
53 |
|
54 <p>To use a debug configuration:</p> |
|
55 |
|
56 <p>You can reuse a previously created debug launch configuration to debug your |
|
57 program.</p> |
