First-time poster.  First, thanks for a fantastic product and your dedication to support.  It is very much appreciated!

I've been configuring VS2017 with GDB for an Arduino Zero over the past couple of weeks. It was basically working with the following versions:

Arduino GDB: 15.170415.4
VS Micro: 1704.28.Sp2

Upgraded last night to:

  Arduino GDB: 15.170430.0
  VS Micro: 1704.30.3

Now a .NET exception is thrown and the debugger will not launch. Instead a dialog box opens asking to launch a new instance of VS 2017 (or VS2015).

Went back to last most recent version of Arduino GDB (15.170415.4) and latest version of VS Micro (1704.30.3), which now once again launches GDB, although now there are exceptions being thrown, source lines don't align with breakpoints, and F10 causes descent into other source files, rather than stepping over.  Definitely not normal behavior.

I will try to find on this site and download the older version of VS Micro (1704.28.Sp2) to attempt to restore system to stable operation.  Will report if successful.

If you would like me to try additional things or provide more info, please advise.

Thank you again for the support.

Working again with update just posted:

Arduino GDB: 15.1704.30.2
VS Micro: 1704.30.3

Thank you!!!

Yes, the GDB support in VS Micro is excellent. I come from the JTAG/ICE side of things and quickly became dependent on hardware-level debugging. This was the reason for picking up a Zero and exploring GDB though VS Micro, which I had already come to love for general Arduino development in VS.

Again, thank you for the efforts. I know there are many topics that can consume your time and appreciate the feedback. Your support is spectacular.

May I also suggest a new Theme in the forum for GDB-related questions and issues?  There doesn't seem to be an obvious place to call home for such questions in the forum, and this might also make it easier for you to gauge the use of the GDB part of the product.

Again, many thanks for the support and prompt response.
