Source file path mapping

[noethlichs.t]

Hello,

When I want to set a breakpoint during remote debugging, VisualGDB takes the target folder from the file synchronization settings. The binary I am debugging, however, has been build through other means. The GDB raw log looks like this:

-break-insert -f /home/visualgdb/c/Source/hello-world/main.cpp:148
&"No source file named /home/visualgdb/c/Source/hello-world/main.cpp:148.\n"

 

I need to map the paths to:

/home/default/build/Source/hello-world/main.cpp:148

 

In the other direction, the path mapping from the VisualGDB settings works. If a breakpoint that has been set manually I get redirected to the correct source file.

Hi,

Please refer to the following page for more information on path mapping: https://visualgdb.com/documentation/pathmapping/

I have read this page. It does not help me.

When setting a breakpoint in a file, I need VisualGDB to use a different path than the $(SourceDir). Because when compiling, the file was not inside $(SourceDir).

A custom source path mapping should take care of that. If it doesn’t work, please attach a screenshot of your path mapping settings, the full path of the file on Windows where you are trying to set a breakpoint, and a gdb log showing the command that VisualGDB used to set the breakpoint.
