Breakpoint installation failed: Interrupt failed [message #1703277]

I'm using Eclipse Mars and trying to debug a C++ file. I'm adding a breakpoint to a line, but after a few seconds I get the warning:

> Breakpoint installation failed: Interrupt failed.

And the debugger doesn't stop at that point even though I know for sure that the code does reach the line with the breakpoint.

What can be done to solve this issue?

I'm guessing that you are setting the breakpoint while the program you are debugging is running. To do that, CDT tries to interrupt the program, set the breakpoint, then resume the program. It seems that in your case, CDT is not able to interrupt the program to be able to set the breakpoint.

You can try a couple of things:
1- set the breakpoint before starting the program
2- interrupt the program manually, then set the breakpoint, then resume manually
