Debugging problem

I use visual micro with visual studio 2012. This is the first time I try debug.
Please see attached picture, I set some breakpoints , and click "build and upload", VM shows "Launching Debugger...Debugging has exited"

I try it with different ino file, same result. It is like debug function not work and just build the code. Please help, thanks a lot.

Please set the tool bar to release, then follow the guide in yellow above after trying a simple upload without debug.

Hi, I am a newbie and not very clear for language reason.
I don't want to release code to stm32 board, instead I want to debug it with VM. Why set tool bar to release? 

Thank you very much for help.
Stm32 blue pill mini board, with arduino and stlink.

You need normal compile in release mode to work before we look at any questions relating to debug.

A screen shot is not required but the information in the yellow box is required to be followed.

Please attach a txt file, the limit on the post size prevents you posting the output in a message body.

Thanks

When set tool bar to debug and automatic debug, get output as attached txt file. Although I set some break points, but no stop ,just compiling and linking until there is a failure infomation.

Thanks for reply.I know there are some linking issues, but when setting break points, and automatic debug mode,why compile process does not stop where break points are? It is just go until hit the linking problem.

If succesfully build and download the program first, it is uneccessary to debug it.

Wish you can see my confusion, and thank for your kind help again.

Hi,

Debugger work with runing code. They allow you to inspect variables and follow the code as it runs. This helps you find logic mistakes (bugs) in your code.

In programming, compiler and linker errors are not classed as bugs.

Sorry to say you have to be able to produce a running program before you can debug.
