Eclipse cdt, gdb exception cygwin_exception::open_stackdumpfile

Question

I am using eclipse Mars (4.5.1) CDT. The toolchain is CygwinGCC. I just create a "hello world" c++ code. It compiles but when I am trying to debug. I had following gdb exception:

 54 [main] gdb 11012 cygwin_exception::open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to gdb.exe.stackdump

Any hints for fixing the problem?

Thanks,

Answer 1

The exception is thrown when there is no break point is set. CDT is not the best tool for C++ comparing with vs and xcode. But none of them available for Cygwin. I just do not want to install Linux on my pc. So Eclipse is the only thing I can think of :) I got luck this time.
