how to put a break point in another file in gdb

[karpay]

Hi all!

I'm trying to debug a program which has 3 files.

There is one .h file, one .cc file and one main file.

Suppose the code is as follows:



//class1.h
#include "class1.h"
#include <stdio>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class class1
{
class1();
function1();
};





//class1.cc
#include "class1.h"
#include <stdio>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class1::class1()
{

}


class1::function1()
{
cout << "this is class one"<< endl;
}






//the main code
//main.cc
include "class1.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
class1 *obj1 = new class1();
obj1->function1();
}




What I'm asking is how can I put a break point in the line

cout << "this is class one"<< endl;

in class1.cc. (please, check the red line above)

Any kind of help is kindly appreciated.

Regards.

break class1.cc:15
Unless I've miscounted the line number

Or


b class1::function1

If you have multiple overloaded function1() functions, then be more specific when setting the breakpoint by specifying the parameter types that the function accepts; for example:


b class1::function1(int)


Or you can list the function using the directive "list" and then set the breakpoint as quick-dudley indicated.

IMHO, interfacing with gdb became obsoleted with the advent of X11 for Linux. You should use ddd, for it has a more intuitive interface.
