Starting debugger freezes my Computer

[evstevemd]

Hi,
is there anyone who is experiencing this? When I start debugger it freezes my computer until I change tty and kill gdb. I just updated svn and recompiled CL
I'm using ubuntu Oneiric and compiling is fine and debugger worked in previous version!

Do you have any log file of the debugger?
When switching tty, have you looked at 'top' to see which process is consuming CPU / IO and is responsible for the hang?
Can you provide a simple reproduction?

I'm not sure where I can find debugger log but When switching to tty, I have firefox at the top (20%) and codelite takes only 4. I have attached top log if that will help but then I don't what you mean by example, you mean a code? Debugger hangs once it gets to the first breakpoint before I do anything.

Hi,

Does this always happen whenever you use gdb in CL, or is this one particular program with the breakpoint in one particular place? I ask because the appearance of a freeze can happen if you put a breakpoint in certain places e.g. when a menu has just opened: the mouse is captured (or maybe the window-manager just gets confused) and subsequently clicking anywhere has no effect.

Try creating a new wx-enabled executable project, and put a breakpoint somewhere unexciting e.g. the frame ctor. Does the problem still happen?

Hi Dave,
It happened regardless of where breakpoint is (when debugger just starts it is where it freezed)
After Updating SVN the problem is gone.
Thanks all for comments
