Variables don't appear while debugging [message #106031]

I am using Eclipse Platform 2.1.3 Mac OS X Carbon on a Mac G4 running OS X
10.3.4. I
have used CDT 1.2.0 Linux GTK and CDT 1.2.0 Linux Motif with the same
results.

I am able to create, compile and run projects using the C/C++ development
perspective.
I can also use the debugging perspective to step through a program, see
the stack etc.
This includes proper highlighting of the line to execute. However I cannot
get any
variables to appear in the variables window. Any ideas why this might be
or, better, how
to fix it?

I understand that Mac OS is not listed as one of the supported OSes for
CDT, however it
seems odd that everything else seems to display properly using the Linux
distributions.

Simon,

I ran into a similar problem and one of the ways I made it go away
(or rather do the right thing but in a different window) was by activating
the "Window->New Window" menu. This launched another window with the
properly refreshed views but then I was left with two windows both trying
to present a debug perspective....

Hope this helps somewhat.

Cheers

Ramanand

Hmm...you did this on a Mac under OS X? Which version of Eclipse and CDT
are you using?

I tried launching the debugger, then opening a new window. No difference.
:-(

Thanks for trying.

Simon,

Sorry I did not qualify my answer completely. I was using Windows XP
professional so my solution may be a bit of a stretch...

Cheers

I had a very similar problem. Make sure the compiler flag -pg is used and the optimization is set to zero for the project and all dependent projects. This worked for me.
