I try to debug my C-code but my breakpoints are ignored.
My system is Windows 10. VS-Code version is 1.38.
This is my launch.json entry:
{
"name": "(gdb) Launch",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "C:/Users/NCH-Lap10/Desktop/aaa.exe",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": true,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"miDebuggerPath": "C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin/gdb.exe",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
},
I would appreciate any hints.
Could I provide more information?
Here I'm sharing my config files, just add them under .vscode folder, and also name the files as given below.

In order to work above configs, you need to have at least launch.json and tasks.json.
try to rebuild code
activate tabs with your code
press Ctrl+Shift + B
start debugging by pressing F5

I have C++ application in Visual Studio Code that uses function that is located in my shared library. I place shared library code in source directory and I can debug through it. I would like to place library source in other folder. But how to tell VS Code where this source is located.

So I was trying to debug my C code using VSCode in WSL (Ubuntu 22.04) and after using different methods, I always get the same error.
Firstly I tried following this guide from this question,
Idk if I did something wrong, heres the "launch.json":
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "(gdb) Launch",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/main",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": false,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
"preLaunchTask": "build"
},
{
"name": "C/C++ Runner: Debug Session",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"externalConsole": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/main",
"MIMode": "gdb",
"miDebuggerPath": "gdb",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
"preLaunchTask": "build"
}
]
}
and my "tasks.json":
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"label": "build",
"type": "shell",
"command": "make",
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"problemMatcher": "$gcc"
}
]
}
Secondly I tried following this video which doesn't use the make file I used in the guide.
here's the "launch.json"
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "(gdb) Launch",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/main",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": false,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
"preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++ build active file"
},
{
"name": "C/C++ Runner: Debug Session",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"externalConsole": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/main",
"MIMode": "gdb",
"miDebuggerPath": "gdb",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
"preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++ build active file"
}
]
}
and "tasks.json"
{
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "C/C++: g++ build active file",
"command": "/usr/bin/g++",
"args": [
"-fdiagnostics-color=always",
"-g",
"*.cpp",
"-o",
"${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${fileDirname}"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
}
}
],
"version": "2.0.0"
}
I also tried executing vscode in admin mode and using chmod -x [my main file] in the terminal, where [my main file] is the location of the binary output from the build.
And finally I used the vscode extension C/C++ runner to see if I was missing something.
In ALL this cases the debug console showed the same issue.
ERROR: Unable to start debugging. Unexpected GDB output from command "-exec-run". Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
Cannot access memory at address 0x8001245
Cannot insert breakpoint 2.
Cannot access memory at address 0x8001260
And the terminal shows this warning:
&"warning: GDB: Failed to set controlling terminal: Operation not permitted\n"

Getting continuous error "unable to start debugging. The value of miDebuggerPath is invalid". while running a c program in VS Code
Here is launch.json file
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [

}
],
"preLaunchTask": "g++ build active file",
"miDebuggerPath": "C:\\MinGW\\bin\\gdb.exe"
}
]
}
and here is tasks.json
{

"cwd": "/usr/bin"
},
"problemMatcher": [

],
"group": {

}
}
]
}
I tried to change the path of compiler but it's not working.
Earlier it used to create the .exe files whenever I hit the F5 button to debug the code. But now for some reason I am unable to get it right and I messed up with the .json files, and it keeps throwing errors.
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "C/C++: gcc.exe build active file",
"command": "C:\\MinGW\\bin\\gcc.exe",
"args": [
"-fdiagnostics-color=always",
"-g",
"${file}",
"-o",
"${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe",
"-Wall",
"-Wextra",
"-Wpedantic"
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${fileDirname}"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
],
"group": "build",
"detail": "compiler: C:\\MinGW\\bin\\gcc.exe"
}
]
}
This is the tasks.json file.
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "g++.exe - Build and debug active file",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": true,
"cwd": "${fileDirname}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": true,
"internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart",
"MIMode": "gdb",
"miDebuggerPath": "C:\\MinGW\\bin\\gdb.exe",
"setupCommands": [

"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": false
}
],
"preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++.exe build active file"
}
]
}
This is the launch .json file.
when I try to run c-code in "VS Code", it not showing output.
but exe. file is made by compiler as shown in image.
I cross checked that I add GCC,G++ in environment variable so,
mostly there is problem in config
