Getting Compiler Errors at Start of Debugger

Hello,
i have some problems with the VisualMikro Debugger.
I am using Atmel Studio and the newest version of VisualMikro and an Arduino Duemilanove with an ATmega328P microcontroller.

The very important problem is, if i set a breakpoint for example "When Hit.." which prints variables i will get a compiler error the next time i start the debugger.
The breakpoint will work if i remove the message part which prints the variables.
Also, in some cases if i move the breakpoint to another line the breakpoint will work.
But in most cases i have to remove the breakpoint to get the system running.
In the enclosed file you will find the compiling messages if i start the compiler after i set such a breakpoint:

I worked before without the standard debugger and the Arduino IDE or the Atmel Studio and the JTAGICE3 and did not get such problems.
Please can some one help me?

Please excuse my bad English.
Kind regards, Werner Poschmann.

Hi

Thanks for the info. It looks like you are trying to watch something that arduino can not send via serial. (the debugger uses standard serial)

I guess you have a breakpoint "when hit" which contains {ds1307} or something similar. This is invalid, currently you can only watch simple expresions such as chat, string, int, float etc.

If you would like to work without the debugger you can easily switch it off by changing the configuration name on the tool bar from "debug" to "release" or by unticking "tools>visual micro>automatic debugging"

Here is the error from the text file you supplied

Code
Select All
CDCF77Uhr.cpp:431:194: error: call of overloaded 'print(cds1307*&)' is ambiguous
:Serial.print( "Initialisierung notwendig! Delete NvRAM"


It is also worth noting that breakpoints will be automatically executed inside an if when you add a breakpoint to a code line that is an "if"

http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Debugging.html

You should see similar errors if you attempt to manually Serial.print() the watched variables
