Debugging Breakpoints in Visual Studio

[GokulKumar1103]

I am currently working on debugging the code in Visual Studio and setting breakpoints. For single-file projects, I am able to set the breakpoints and run the code without issues. However, when I try to set a breakpoint in main.cpp for our Adaptive AUTOSAR Linux Simulator project, I encounter an error during execution.

I suspect that this may be related to a potential linkage issue. Would you be able to assist me with this? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help. I look forward to your response.

I am trying to make some changes in software in order to solve " Starting OBD-II emulator failed. "

This is wage! What type of error do you mean by I encounter an error during execution.? Can you specify more? Usually breakpoints are not the issue, unless you put them in the places that they may cause a timeout.

OBD emulator is an in-house dependency of the project. To debug that, be sure that it build also in debug mode (the source code can be found from here).

Besides that, you've mentioned that you are debugging in Visual Studio. If you are running the project on a Windows machine, be aware that the OBD emulator relies on a POSIX-based serial communication which is NOT supported on Windows.
It also requires an actual hardware for receiving the CAN packets. If you don't have the hardware, please refer to this video to get an idea about how to bypass the hardware.

Thank you for your response.

I am currently using VS Code with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), and I encountered the following error:

Yes I understood there nothing issue with break point setting as it simply cause a timeout .However, I am facing some difficulties.
In the main.cpp file, I was able to set a breakpoint at the " TryAskingVccApiKey() " function by pressing F9. But when I try to run the "Debug C/C++ File" option in VS Code, I encounter the error above.

Additionally, could you please guide me on how to build the OBD emulator in debug mode? I have the source code available.

I appreciate your help and look forward to your response.

Regarding the posted image, the message box itself does not say much. You need to check the actual error(s) by clicking on Show Errors button. At least based on the terminal output (visible from the image), it seems the g++ build failed due to no linkage to the pugi XML library and also the ModelledProcess (which is weird unless you changed the makefile or the VS code debugger configuration is not compatible with the project build system). This is something I cannot help with and you need to figure it our yourself.

Additionally, could you please guide me on how to build the OBD emulator in debug mode? I have the source code available.

CMake in this project uses FetchContent_Declare to fetch the source code. So, if you did not change anything in the makefile, by default the whole project including the in-house dependencies should be build in the debug mode and you don't need to take any extra step.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my queries. I truly appreciate your help. I will put in some effort to explore further and will reach out to you again with more insightful discussions.
