Debugger in Pelles C IDE 9.00.9 is wrong

(1/2) > >>

matze:
I found bugs in Pelles C 9.00.9 in my 64 bit test program. The debugger does not recognize that some lines in the program contain compilable code. Because of this, I can not place valid breakpoints on these lines, and no assembler code will be displayed for those lines.

frankie:
Try recompiling without optimizations.

matze:
I'm already used to testing my programs without compiler optimizations.

Good, this should be the correct way to debug.
Anyway looking at the disassembling you provided, and that I haven't observed carefully before, I can deduct a couple of things.
There is no place just following the switch to place a break, it should be placed on the call of the subroutine 'OnInitDialog'. The compare instructions and the following conditional jump are before the execution point you are looking for.
Then more than a bug the point is that the actual debugger isn't smart enough...  :(

TimoVJL:
I think Pelle is aware of this problem.
It's a debug info problem in v9, not quite a debugger problem ?
Pelles C debug format for version 9 is available, so it's possible to check it.

EDIT: a test case:
--- Code: ---void foo1(int id) {}
void foo2(int id) {}
void foo3(int id) {}

int foo(int id, int msg)
{
switch (id) {
case 0:
switch (msg)
{
foo1(id);
break;
case 2:
foo2(id);
break;
case 3:
foo3(id);
break;
default: break;
}
case 1:
foo1(id);
break;
case 2:
foo2(id);
break;
case 3:
foo3(id);
break;
default: return 0;
}
return id;
}

void __cdecl mainCRTStartup(void)
{
foo(0, 0);
foo(1, 1);
foo(2, 2);
foo(3, 3);
}
