Step over doesn't let me run one line at a time [message #1774702]

I run the C code in debug mode, and in one of the functions, I do step over, it starts to run, and it doesn't stop. I have simple assignments in the first few lines of the function.

However, initially, the step over runs, when it enter the function, the step over start to behave in this strange way.

Please help!
Thank you!

A common reason for seemingly erratic debugging behavior is failure to turn off all optimization.
With GCC, you should compile with "-g -O0" (minus-capitalO-zero).

If optimization is already off, you may need to post a small example that illustrates what you are seeing.
It's not at all clear what you are describing.

What do you mean by: "starts to run, and it doesn't stop"?
Do you mean it runs to completion or otherwise terminates?
Perhaps the function is calling exit.
Perhaps it isn't returning to the point after the call (because of stack corruption, for example).

You may need to step into the function and single step to discover what it is doing.
