CLion debug missing breakpoints

I am running CLion under Ubuntu 20.10. This is a new install. I've run CLion successfully in the past.

I have set a breakpoint, but it is changing to a grey "not" sign when I run. I looked it up https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/using-breakpoints.html#line-breakpoints and it says this happens when the code is not executable, which is not the problem...

Or when "some debugging symbols are missing." I don't know what this means. I tried searching for how to load them and found many links that really don't help.

I am set up for gdb and g++. Here is the output from my build:

====================[ Build | all | Debug ]=====================================

Please advise.

Solution

  • My problems seem to have something to do with G+ plus version 10.3.0. I installed G+ + 9 and changed out my compiler and the break points started hitting. I have informed jetbrains.

    Update, per JetBrains, added the following to my cmake:

    add_compile_options(-gdwarf-4)

    and am now able to run with 10.3.0. Hope this helps someone else.
