CLion Restrict Debugging Step Into to Project Functions only

Question

Is there a way in CLion 2017 to step into project source files only whilst debugging a program?

For example in the code segment below,

function1 (boost::doSomething())

I have a function from an external library (eg boost ) which I don't want the debugger to go into while I step through the program.

Is there a setting that forces CLion to skip stepping into any code from an external library?

Answer 1

If CLion is using gdb for it's debugger then you can create the file ~/.gdbinit and add the following to ignore all functions in boost:: namespace.

skip -rfu "boost::.*"

As another example, you can also add the following line to skip all the header files in include/bits (like unique_pointer.h).

skip -gfile include/bits/*.h

More info on skip options at Debugging with GDB: Skipping Over Functions and Files and in this useful answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/42985979/255961 .

See this link for how to do something similar if CLion is using lldb - How to not step into shared_ptr in xcode .
