  • Debugger Options

    The simple debugger options dialog allows the user to configure the call to the underlying debugger executables. The options configured by default should be adequate for most users.

    Debugger Location

    This option specifies the path to the debugger. By default, this path should point to Simply Fortran’s GNU Debugger executable.

    Arguments

    The arguments option specifies the arguments to be passed to the debugger itself, not the program/executable being debugged. The arguments present by default should suit most users.

    Warn Missing Source

    With this option enabled, Simply Fortran will display a warning if the source file specified by the debugger cannot be found on the system. This situation may arise when debugging a program that uses external libraries. If unchecked, the debugger will not issue any warning.

    Break on Start

    When this option is enabled, the debugger will stop at the beginning of the main program unit. This behavior will cause the debugger to pause at the beginning of the program code. When disabled, the target will immediately begin executing until the program reaches its conclusion, an exception is raised, or a user-defined breakpoint is reached.
