About Debugging Applications

See Also 

Debugging is the process of examining your application for errors. The process of debugging is accomplished by setting breakpoints and watches in your code and running it in the debugger. Debugging enables you to execute your code one line at a time and examine the state of your application in order to discover any problems.

The IDE uses the dbx debugger to debug your C, C++, and Fortran applications.

If the tools required to build and debug the project are not in the compiler collection specified for the project, the Resolve Missing Native Build Tools dialog box opens. Resolve the missing tools and click OK.

If you are running a C/C++ project from existing code and you did not specify a build result when you created the project, the Select Executable dialog box opens so that you can select the executable to run.
