Hi,

I am using NDK r9 and SDK 22.0.5 (API 18) and Debug APK. We’re using Ant to build.

– If I try to add a breakpoint before running the executable and then run
– or if I add the breakpoint while the executable is running,
– or if I try to start the executable with adb with a raise(SIGINT) in the code and start Debug APK with attach to first instance before the raise(SIGINT) is hit,

in all those cases, I am getting a dialog box saying:
GDB Command Timeout
The following GDB command is taking too long to complete:
-file-list-exec-source-files
( I waited 500+ seconds )

If I click on abort command it’s then showing a dialog box saying:
GDB Command Timeout
The following GDB command is taking too long to complete:
-exec-continue

If I then click on abort command. it says:
Visual GDB
Failed to start debugging session. GDB has reported the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Please build your project first. If this does not help check GDB startup parameters in VisualGDB project settings.

The short version is that I haven’t been able to use any breakpoint, and as a consequence I haven’t been able to try stepping.

(I also tried to also use the Debugging Pause button of visual studio, and it does pause, but I don’t seem to get a correct callstack then for the Main Thread.
It’s only 3 level deep, with the inner most level in an eopwait function (or something similar). The 2 other levels don’t seem to have symbols.
If I try to step from there, I am getting the GDB timeout windows, I don’t remember the exact command it was trying to run).

So before we make a purchase, I want to know if there’s a solution, or if the Debug APK command doens’t allow you to use breakpoint and step?

Thanks!
