Breakpoints not hitting up

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

In my code base of C++ the breakpoints are not hitting up.
I have built a code base(C++ on Windows) in visual studio and created a dll and its corresponding pdb files.

I ran the application and then connected it to windbg, set the symbols properly and source code path is also proper.
I have set the breakpoints in a suspected file.
The problem is the breakpoints are not hitting up.
When I make the changes at that place(where I have set the breakpoints) the corresponding changes gets reflected in the output.
But while running the application the breakpoints does not hit.

What might be the reason behind this and how to resolve it?

Make sure that you've compiled the binaries in 'Debug' mode.
Secondly check whether the debugger is loading the right symbols / pdbs from the right path.
For more details you can have a look this[^].

1. Open your DLL project
2. Open the properties page, then go to 'Debugging' and in the field 'Command', enter the (relative) path and name of the application.
3. press F5 to build and run your DLL in debug mode

If that doesn't work, check the output window for error messages during startup.

Solution 1

According to this[^] similar question at SO, it may be because you have some optimizations turned on. When it optimizes, sometimes the code where the breakpoint is set no longer exists. Try turning off all optimization.
