Hi,

I'm using CW9.1 on the Mac OS 10.3.3 to develop VST audio plugin that
run under host applications such as Cubase or Nuendo.
The plugin is compiled as CFM code resource.
gdb is installed (version 5.3-20030128 (Apple version gdb-309)) and
seem to be working.

Lately I have been unable to debug.

I set one of the host applications as "Host Applications for LIbraries
& Code resources" in the "Runtime settings" panel.

When I launch the debugger I get one of two behaviors;
1) The debugger repeatedly stops on assembly code inside the host
applications, making it impossible to continue.
2) The debugger ignores all break points.

Thanks for any help,

Shai

Hmm make sure the stop on C++ exceptions is off. Also where do you have
the stop for the debugger set. Is it on Application Launch or what.

 >2) The debugger ignores all break points.

Be sure you have updated to CW 9.2 I think, that this was addressed in
the 9.2 update.

However, I noticed some plugin writers saying that they had to insert
breakpoints after stopping in the debugger they couldn't set them in the
IDE sources or have them pre-set. I don't know if this applies to
other plugins.

let me know after you update to 9.2 if that does not solve the problem.

Why do you use CFM for VST ?
There are many reasons to switch to Mach-O. You may want to read

I know that I have more than one report that it could be a pain to get
this working.
But as Ron said, try CW9.2 it may help.
