Failed to create a breakpoint -break-insert:Garbage following

[jlendel]

Hi all.

I reinstalled Visual Studio (2017 community) with newly purchased VisualGDB and I get this weird error when I try to add any breakpoint. I did not change anything, it’s bog standard clean install. It used to work before the reinstall. Does anyone know how do I resolve this?

No problem. Please try capturing a diagnostic gdb log as shown here. It should explain what is going on. If it doesn’t help, please attach the log here and we will help you get it to work.

Thanks for the reply. I figured it out. I looks that the breakpoints don’t work if there is a space in the project path. It worked before, I always ignored the warning that VisGDB gave me, but it stopped working after reinstall.

Good to know it works. Most likely, the breakpoints worked with a different configuration (e.g. when running gdb on the target where the paths would be different).

Either way, VisualGDB should normally show a warning about spaces in paths. If not, feel free to let us know more about how you created the project and we will double-check why the warning was not displayed.
