Hi,

     I face a strange problem,  I had install GDB Stub in a ESP8266, it was really simple, I can step through my code, but all my variable initialization value fail,  When my code hit the breakpoint it's stop and the locals window show the locals variable but with the wrong value, the initialization don't work example if I wrote "i=0" the variable will not show with the value "0" but something like "854433" and if in my code I make "i++" the value report will be "854434"...  The increment work but on the wrong value...

VS2017 with the last version of VM plugin
ESP Core 2.7.4

Any help will be welcome

Here is my small test program

#include <GDBStub.h>

//--------------------------------------------------------------

void setup()
{
     int i,j;

     Serial.begin(115200);
     gdbstub_init();

     i = 0;
     j = 0;

     while (true)
     {
           i++;
           j++;
     }
}

//--------------------------------------------------------------

void loop()
{
}

Thanks for your reply,

    I just find that if I put the breakpoint on the first line "i=0" and step by step all the code everything work fine,  but if I put the first break point on the first line in the while() " i++;"  it's don't work. Did you have any clue?

I use the green arrow Start

You are right on,  I just add "delay(3000)" after the "i=0" with a breakpoint at "i++" and it's work just fine.  

Thanks for your time
