Why can I not enable breakpoints in Visual Studio 2005?


I have seen that sometimes breakpoints cannot be enabled in Visual Studio, they appear as empty circles, with a warning sign when enabled. This icon change is all the information VS gives.

Particularly I'm suffering that in a Windows CE 6.0 project where I cannot enable any breakpoint in any of the sub-projects or in the OS design. The target platform in this project is a Vortex x86 embedded board, I use KITL for remote debugging.

How can I retrieve more information about what is happening? Is it not possible to use breakpoints in my case?


Solution

  • The hollow circles with the yellow warning sign are OK. The breakpoint should instantiate once the module that holds that breakpoint loads.
    This of course happens in a debug image only.
