Debugging through include files

[tuxillo]

Hi

I'm trying to debug a program that includes several custom header files. The thing is that when I set breakpoints inside the include files, the execution flow is not stopped there, only the the main C file.

I guess I'm missing something here.

Yes.

Header files should be solely for defines, prototypes etc. Any functions should be in a C file. The debugger will not help you when headers contain code.
