Breakpoints fail to delete
Mar 21st, 2017 at 5:52pm
Print Post  
I am using VM 1.1702.15 with VS 2015. When I delete breakpoints they don't clear correctly. When I run the code it reports that is can't find a breakpoint, which should not be there. I thought it was because I had manually deleted the breakpoints, but I am not sure now. Using delete All Breakpoints from the menu seemed to be ok, but that is not the case.

I now can't remove the error. See attached file.

Regards,

David

Hi,

This suggests you have not uploaded your code since changing or removing breakpoints. Do you agree?

More...

You can also use the toolbar to switch from "Debug" to "Release". Then upload, the Release setting always gives you a clean arduino build without debugging which is the best way to work. 

Use debugging when you need it otherwise use release.

I had rebuilt after deleting the breakpoints. In fact I closed the project, reopened, rebuilt and the problem was still there.

This has occurred since upgrading, I haven't had the problem for the last 18 months or so I have used the program.

I am not sure using release really solves the problem.

I have uninstalled the software and installed a different release, I think newer and will see if the problem persists.

Regards,

David

I agree it needs to be understood but I also provided I do to help you work around the issue until then.

I am not sure what you mean by "needs to be understood". Is there a problem and you are suggesting as a workaround to use release build for now?

As I noted, I have been using debug builds with no problems until recently.

Regards,

David

We need to look at the reason why you are affected by this and fix it and yes as I said Release mode is a workaround. 

If you are not using the automated reports such as digital or analog then it is much better to be in release mode anyway.

As I have uninstalled and reinstalled VM, I will see if the problem still persists.

I understand that debug mode can have an impact on performance, but found it easier to remain in debug mode whilst developing.

If the problem persists, what information would help you diagnose the issue?

Regards,

David

I tested this and can not find a problem.

Maybe we can go back to my first questions

Have you uploaded the code since removing the breakpoints?

Uploaded not just build?

Yes, I did upload and build - I tried various things to try and remove.

However, as I said I uninstalled the application from VS and reinstalled. I have remained in debug and added and removed breakpoints with no problem so far. So let's close this for now.

Regards,

David

@bas I have split the post because I had some questions but I have since been able to replicate the issue.

Deleting all breakpoints from a cpp file not being detected:  should be resolved in the next release thanks!

Hi,

Removing all the Breakpoints from a .cpp file without modifying the source code caused the previously compiled (cached) version to be used. 

This is resolved in the next release which can also be downloaded from this thread

Thanks very much for the post and sorry for the delay

Glad you found the issue which is good as I had the problem again today.

I will download the new version.
