In the help file of Pelles C IDE:
"The Debug view will display general progress messages, and output from the OutputDebugString API function."
However, if I debug a program on my PC with Pellec C IDE 9.00.9, then there are no output texts in the debug view and the OutputDebugString command does not output anything in the Debug view.
When I choose "Stop debugging", the Debug view displays "Done".
There is a context menu (right-click) for that pane, where you can check/uncheck:
- Process and thread messages
- Module messages
- Program output
OutputDebugStringA() and OutputDebugStringW() falls under "Program output". Is this option unchecked for you?
These options were not enabled on my computer, if I enable it, it works fine.
