gdb can't hit any break point when debug SU2
 

I have a problem when I try to debug SU2.
I run the follow command to compile SU2

./configure CFLAGS=-g --prefix=/home/lau/program/cfd/su2/debug
make install

Then, I run GDB, set point at the main program, then run

[lau@localhost bin]$ gdb SU2_CFD

(gdb) step

After I enter the command "step", it will run until the end of program.
I check another shorter cpp program ,it works well.

Hey,


CFLAGS are for the C-Compiler and CXXFLAGS are for the C++ compiler. I use CXXFLAGS and have no issues with gdb. So I guess this is where your issue comes from.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFLAGS as a reference


I tend to set CXXFLAGS as well as envoronmental variable
I hope this helps, cheers

Dear Tobi:

It works, think you!
But I think one have to make clean and remake the program after changed the configure arguments. If I just remake, It will not change the exe file.

Hey,


I personally have a 'make clean' before every new '(pre)configure' command. Just to make sure nothing funny happens (and I tend to build on a lot of cores so I have no trouble with time :) ).

I am unsure though if a make clean is really necessary ? It might be ok without... but I am by far no expert

What surely is necessary is another '(pre)configure' with the respective CXXFLAGS set: either as environmental variable or in the command directly.


Note that we slowly shift to meson as a build system (away from autotools). I found it pretty easy and straight-forward to use. Check out the docs for building from source on the su2-website https://su2code.github.io/docs_v7/Bu...2-Linux-MacOS/


Cheers, Tobi
