Problem Setting Breakpoint

[kalfus.w]

Hello,

I am trying to put a breakpoint in my code for STM32L476RG, but I keep getting the error “The breakpoint will not currently be hit. Cannot resolve breakpoint location”. The code compiles fine, and I was able to create a brand new project with identical settings (but different code that simply toggles an LED, right from the STM32Cube samples) and debug with that. I checked the compile options and it does have the flags -O0 and -ggdb. What could be causing this error and how can I resolve it so that I may debug my code?

 

Thanks,

BillyK

Hi,

Please look in the GDB Session window in Visual Studio and switch it to “All GDB Interaction”. This should display the internal commands that VisualGDB sends to gdb. Then clear the window contents, try setting a breakpoint and check the output. If it does not explain what goes wrong, please post the output here and we will help you understand what is wrong.

This is the output. It looks like it got the breakpoint and then halted but kept going even though I never clicked Continue, because it never gave me the option to.

Hi,

Looks like you are setting a breakpoint in C:/Users/billy_000/Documents/Micromouse/2017/MicromouseTest/MicromouseOrientationTest/Src/main.c, but the actual path to the file as reported by gdb is C:/Users/billy_000/Documents/Micromouse/2017/MicromouseTest/MicromouseTest/Src/main.c.

Please double-check that you are using the correct file. You can also use the ‘breakpoint diagnostics’ button in the GDB Session window to automatically setup a path mapping so that VisualGDB can substitute the paths for you.

Ah, makes sense. I recreated the project in its own solution and that seemed to fix it. Thanks for the help!
