In NetBeans when you insert Breakpoint and Debug project, it runs code until the Breakpoint and stop right in a line where we put Breakpoint. And afterwards we can execute our code step by step. If we Press F8 which is Step Over operation, NetBeans executes next line. Sometimes we want to go back to the previous executed line because we want to change that line and see how it will work.
So, the question is how can I say NetBeans to Step Back (if we can call this like this), so instead of executing next line code it executes previous line code? I remember in Visual Basic 6.0 (now I don't know because don' t use it anymore) we could manage current execution line, i.e. we could just drag and drop debug pointer to the line we want during the debugging and it would start to execute code right from the place we put it. Is it possible in NetBeans?

I use NetBeans for debugging PHP application. PHP uses php_xdebug-2.1.0RC1-5.3-vc9-nts.dll to to debug PHP code.
I think he was referring to the pop top most call stack.

It's not only a matter of Netbeans (or to say it more generally: your IDE), it's also a matter of the debug capabilities of your jvm.
AFAIK, no jvm does currently have this feature.
What might be possible (in Eclipse it is) is to step to the beginning of the method, but you have to be careful about the state of your objects, because you may reach a state which you won't within a normal execution.

I'm trying to use the Visual Studio Code debugger to run a Go application to try and understand the code base.
I have to manually set breakpoints to pause execution but doing this may result in missing some part of the code.
So I was wondering if there is a way to pause after every line without having to manually set breakpoints. Any help?
If you are using gdb you can use 's' to step line by line.
Goland shows code analysis has been suspended at the top right.
I have tried Following things:
Restart GOLAND,
Re- installing goland
Memory utilisation is also not heavy.
Nothing seems to work yet, any other things that I can check?
Try this:
Press shift twice and in the context window type Inspect Code Actions
Select it and press Enter
Then from another context menu choose Configure Current File Analysis
Choose All Problems
The explanation is in the parenthesis under the Code analysis has been suspended message.
The (Doing file refresh) part refers to the fact that the IDE is currently scanning the known folders such as the project directory, the Go SDK and GOPATH or GOPATH/pkg/mod (aka GOMODCACHE since Go 1.15) to check for any differences from the last IDE usage to the new session.
This should happen in two scenarios: you are starting a completely new IDE session or you have installed a new dependency.
If this takes too long to finish, please check your settings for what the GOPATH or the project directory is or open an issue on our tracker. Please attach the IDE logs zip file from Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostics Data... from the IDE.
The text sent is not seen in the Output window.
Solution Configuration is Debug.
Output window is showing output from Debug.
It's a simple command: Debug.WriteLine("abc");
Setting a Breakpoint on it succeeds, but the program breaks on the line after it, moving the Breakpoint!
Changing Platform from Any CPU to x86 solves the issue. But going back, it returns.
Creating a new solution, it does work. Even in Any CPU.
I removed the .suo file for the solution.
I emptied the %temp% folder.
Is there any solution for this?
1) Go to Build -> Configuration manager and make sure you are in Debug mode, not Release.
2) Right-click on the project that you're having trouble with and choose properties.
3) Check the Build tab and make sure Define DEBUG constant and Define TRACE constant are both checked.
Note, most people make the mistake corrected by Step #1. But in my case it was steps #2 and #3 that fixed the problem. Despite being in DEBUG mode, for some reason those two constants were not being defined! I think the IDE may have turned them off when I had some of the projects in a solution using one platform target, and the rest of them using a different one, because by default, they are both enabled (checked) when you are in Debug mode.
I set a breakpoint in my code in Visual-C++, but when I run, I see the error mentioned in the title.
I know this question has been asked before on Stack Overflow (Breakpoints cannot be set and have been disabled), but none of the answers there fully explained the problem I'm seeing. The closest I can see is something about the linker, but I don't understand that - so if someone could explain in more detail that would be great.
In my case, I have 2 projects in Visual C++ - the production dsw, and the test code dsw. I have loaded and rebuilt both dsws in debug mode. I want a breakpoint in the production code, which is run via the test scripts. My issue is I get the error message when I run the test code, because the break point is in the production code, which isn't loaded up when the test starts.
Near the beginning of the test script there is a mytest_initialize() command. I imagine this goes off and loads up the production dll. Once this line has executed, I can put the breakpoint in my production code and run until I hit it. But it's quite annoying to have to run to this line, set the breakpoint and continue every time I want to run the test.
So I think the problem is Visual C++ doesn't realise the two projects are related. Is this a linker issue? What does the linker do and what settings should I change to make this work?
Thanks in advance. Apologies if instead I should be appending this question to the existing one, this is my first post so not quite sure how this should work.
[Update 1] I think Chris O has identified the problem. I'll add a further update if I'm able to work out how to use the project settings to make this work.
It sounds like you are using VC6, since you mention dsw files. I think that is as good as it gets in VC6, you have to manually add the breakpoint after your module is loaded from LoadLibrary. Actually, there might be a project debug setting, so you can specify which DLLs to load when debugging your project, that will keep your breakpoints enabled when hitting F5.
You can also try attaching the debugger after you know the mytest_initialize() has been called, that might keep your breakpoints enabled.
I had this issue sometimes, but always pass this with some code replacement actions.
Here is some guy post, how he had fixed it.
Hope it helps.
In my case i solved this by setting the DLL project containing the breakpoint as Active Project and changed Debug settings for this project (right-click project>>settings>>Debug tab) to point to the project that actually runs and accesses the DLL. "Executable for debug session:" and "Working directory:" should be set to the executable that you actually want to run and its corresponding directory.
Hope this is of any help.
right-click project>>settings>>Link tab
check on Generate debug info
check on Link incrementally
I'm trying to debug a C++ project in VS 2005.
In debug mode how can i find the previous line that got executed.? i.e Consider the control is in line 5000. How can i find the previous line which got executed before coming to line 5000. Actually there are few goto statements involved. Call stack is just displaying the previous functions which were called.
Though i know it is not a good practice to use goto, this is an existing project which I'm debugging. Thanks in advance.
This information is lost. You should single-step in the code or add logging to know which lines were executed.
If you got to line 5000 by a goto or a jump (rather than by a call), then there is no record of where you came from. You will just have to go back and trace through the code and watch it as it jumps to line 5000.
If you can recompile the source (which I guess you can since you've got debug information) you might want to sprinkle the code with calls to OutputDebugString each with a different bit of text - for example before each label and each goto.
That way when your line gets hit you can check which messages got dumped to the output window to find the execution path.
