Debugging Boost.Test in Eclipse: debugger won't stop at break points

Question

When I set a breakpoint in eclipse to debug a boost unit test, it doesn't stop. I have it compiled with debugging symbols but it just goes right past the breakpoint.

Answer 1

It turns out that you need to add an argument to the test executable.

Under the Debug Configurations for the test you need to set a program argument under the Arguments tab.

--catch_system_errors=no

Otherwise the executable ignores the information about the breakpoint.
