Debugging

[Jarwulf]

Hi, I'm having a couple problems debugging a VS2008 C++ app using this SFML graphics library.

The first one is that when I edit a breakpoint through the When Hit menu and I try to have a variable print out through the output window using something like {value} nothing appears when the breakpoint is reached.


The second more serious problem is that the debugger will only go through the first few breakpoints before exiting completely. The program will usually pop up a window where the graphics are and a plain text output window. When I use the debugger only the output window appears. I haven't detected any relevant problem with the program itself and the debugging works properly for a simple console program I tested.

int main()
{
//declare the characters and objects in window

	
	  object *ObjectArray[6];
	//Wanderbot Basicbot(950.f,100.f,950.f,100.f);
	hero firsthero(1000.f,300.f,1000.f,300.f);
Peacebot Patrolbot(100.f,1900.f,100.f,1900.f);

	weapon cpistol;
    collisionmachine collisionmachineinst;
    gameui currentui;
	float distancebetweenxmain, distancebetweenymain,unsignedbx,unsignedby;
    sf::Clock Timer;
    // Create the main rendering window
    sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Graphics");

sf::Vector2f Center(400, 300);
sf::Vector2f HalfSize(400, 300);
sf::View View1(Center, HalfSize);




 //variables needed to run things on main

collisionmachineinst.objectpopulation=5;

//setup background

<<BREAKPOINT>>//debugger exits out after this breakpoint

sf::Image Background;
    if  (!Background.LoadFromFile("PracticeDeck5test.png"))
        
    {
        std::cerr << "Error : cannot load image.\n";
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

 sf::Sprite BackgroundSprite(Background);
BackgroundSprite.SetPosition(0.f,0.f);


//register objects in collision loop

 ObjectArray[0]=&firsthero;
 //ObjectArray[1]=&Basicbot;
 ObjectArray[1]=&cpistol.bullet[0];
 ObjectArray[2]=&cpistol.bullet[1];
 ObjectArray[3]=&cpistol.bullet[2];
ObjectArray[4]=&Patrolbot;
