I would really love some improved word boundary handling – this is basically the only thing preventing me from switching to SmarTTY immediately.

In some other terminals when you double-click a word it will select the whole path, but this breaks selections at the ‘/’ character (and some others) and so makes copying text a bit more of a chore.

All in all an amazing product and one I hope to see much more of!!

Well the author is still active ( in other parts of this forum… ) and maybe ( *MAYBE* ) a day he will want to spend 10 minutes of his precious life for update WinCDEmu…

Oh, I just read a quite recent thread that addresses this topic. Apparently VisualGDB does make use of the built-in parsing and Intellisense of Visual Studio. Let me rephrase my question: Does anybody know, if there are plans to add support for C++11/C++14 to VisualGDB?

[Anonymous]

The global settings in my opinion would be nice for things like the ssh settings since those would unlikely change from one project to the next in the same solution.

More importantly in my case since the projects are generated I want to be able to keep the visualgdb settings file somewhere else that isnt in the project. This allows me to make changes to it via the Visual Studio plugin and still keep it up to date. Atm I have to create the default settings file and copy it yo the project directory. Since our project files can be deleted and recreated at any time this means making changes to the settings/makefiles we need to make sure to copy them back to our original templates.

Other than this I have managed to get everything working quite well I think. We will be purchasing several copies shortly (if we haven’t already). I do appreciate the quick responses as well.

Guys the development is stopped by the 2010-10-28, is not yesterday but 4 years -.-
Don’t loose your time, don’t pray for an update
I can say the “portable” version was downloaded 1.829.679 times and 7720 only this week but basiz don’t care, for his is perfect who cares lol

[Anonymous]

I fixed this by modifying GYP to support exporting projects to their own directories.

I did try the verbose option before your response here and it didnt say a lot other than it discovered the Makefile needed updating and so it did. It kept reading the wrong makefile though. I tried swapping the projects makefile names (instead of the main project being “Makefile” and the dependency project being “Project2-Makefile”, I swapped them). That didn’t work either and VisualGDB continued to read in the wrong value.

Anyhow this can easily be reproduced in 4.1r10 by making two projects in VS. Make one depend on the other and move all their projects/makefiles into one directory.

Btw do you guys have any plans allow support for a global vgdbsettings file (instead of only per project)? And on that same note it would be nice to be able to move those settings and user settings files out of the project directory. This would make it easier to have one set of settings to maintain rather than have to maintain 1 per project.

Hi,

Thank you for solving my problem in the next release.

You’re right that I have not set any breakpoint. But I tick the checkbox “Support ‘step into new instance’ through breakpoint in: main”. I think it is the one -break-insert command in the log, but the program does not stop there.

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I understand the SIGINT and SIGTRAP signals are used for break all, but I don’t understand why I have to be informed about it by a dialog box every time when I press the break all button. When I tick the checkbox “Break when this exception type is thrown” nothing is changing and the dialog box is shown next time again.

For the first issue, there is a log:

Any progress on this?

[Anonymous]

I had to finish the assignment without debugging features, I’ll never have to use that platform again. I’m able to do all this just fine on a new version of Ubuntu so the issues are unimportant now.

[Anonymous]

I fixed the above error, digging though some mailing lists others noted (in different contexts) that having the -O0 flag present causes this and the -O2 apparent works. It did. Now I get the following

Failed to start debugging session, GDB has reported the following error: cannot determine GDB stub port for virtual machine …. Please build your project first. If this does not help, check GDB startup parameters in VisualKernel project settings.

That fixed creating a new one, I decided to create a new module opposed to importing one so the previous issue is probably moot (likely me not doing something correctly). Now I can’t build anything, I try building the basic “hello world” module and get

Somehow Windows 8 doesn’t bother to tll you why it fails. The emulation drivers are unsigned and on contrary to older Windows versions 8 is not asking the user whether he/she really wants to install unsigned drivers or not.
WinCDEmu installed perfectly fine for me on Win 8.1 Pro x64 by
1. following this

http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-windows-8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

2. running the setup as admin (shift+right click -> run as admin)

Hope this helps anyone
