Breakpoint In Dev C++
Set breakpoint in C or C code programmatically for gdb on Linux. How can I set a breakpoint in C or C code programatically that will work for gdb on Linux. How do I debug using Dev-C? First, make sure you are using a project. Then go to Project Options - Compiler - Linker and set Generate debugging information to 'yes', and make sure you are not using any optimization options (they're not good for debug mode).

Msvsmon.exe crashes when hitting breakpoint in native C code. I extensively used C & C in my competitive programming years and wanted a better support for debugging & intellisense. Only options available were Dev-C(outdated) and the original 'Mammoth' Visual Studio. Lately, I found VScode and fell in love with it (Atom also only till I found VScode).
C/C++ support for Visual Studio Code is provided by a Microsoft C/C++ extension to enable cross-platform C and C++ development on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Getting started
C/C++ compiler and debugger
The C/C++ extension does not include a C++ compiler or debugger. You will need to install these tools or use those already installed on your computer.
Popular C++ compilers are:
- GCC on Linux
- GCC via Mingw-w64 on Windows
- Microsoft C++ compiler on Windows
- Clang for XCode on macOS
Make sure your compiler executable is in your platform path so the extension can find it. You can check availability of your C++ tools by opening the Integrated Terminal (⌃` (Windows, Linux Ctrl+`)) in VS Code and try running the executable (for example g++ --help).
Install the Microsoft C/C++ extension
- Open VS Code.
- Click the Extensions view icon on the Sidebar (⇧⌘X (Windows, Linux Ctrl+Shift+X)).
- Search for
c++. - Click Install.

Remote Development
VS Code and the C++ extension support Remote Development allowing you to work over SSH on a remote machine or VM, inside a Docker container, or in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
To install support for Remote Development:
- Install the VS Code Remote Development Extension Pack.
- If the remote source files are hosted in WSL, use the Remote - WSL extension.
- If you are connecting to a remote machine with SSH, use the Remote - SSH extension.
- If the remote source files are hosted in a container (for example, Docker), use the Remote - Containers extension.
