Visual Studio 调试器 C++ - 无法识别断点

Question

Beginner programmer using Visual Studio release January 2021 on Windows 10. I have yet to get breakpoints to work. When placing a breakpoint in the helloworld.cpp program below and running the debugger, I get the following message and no breakpoint is set.

Breakpoint warning: Unexpected symbol reader error while processing helloworld.exe. - c:\RetireRecipe\Simulator\helloworld.cpp:5

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    cout << "Hello World" << endl;
}

Answer 1

In my opinion, I suggest that you could try the following methods.

1. Select Debbug->(APP) Properties , and make suer they are consistent and Debug . Breakpoint operation can only be in Debug mode.

2. Clean the project, rebuild the project and check if this folder Project Name\Debug has.pdb by Right click your project ->Open Floder in File Explorer .

3. Go to Debug -> Options and Settings . On the Debugging/General page , clear the Require source files that exactly match the original version option.

4. Debug -> (app) Properties-> Configuration Properties -> Debugging -> change from Auto to Mixed .

5. Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Debugging -> Generate Debug Info -> Generate Debug Information optimized for sharing and publishing If it still work, I suggest that you could reinstall VS.

Answer 2

After several hours of reading various VS Code install videos, I ended up reinstalling twice. The overall solution for me was the reinstall and using the g++ compiler and gdb debugger. I can now set breakpoints, etc.
