Debugging Options changed

[lespaul]

I think when I opened a Delphi project that a former employee created, somehow my debugging options were changed. When I'm stepping through the code I now get to see all the events that are occuring in Windows.pas (EnterCriticalSection and LeaveCriticalSection are the processes that I get to step through 50 times before I get to something different!) and FlatSB.pas.

Does anyone which setting I need to change so I don't step through that code, just my code?

Thanks!

Project / Options / Compiler

Untick "Use Debug DCUs"

 

[lespaul]

it's not checked

anywhere else I could look?

Rebuild the application after changing Project Options. Just compiling is not enough.

 

[lespaul]

but I didn't change the Project Options, it wasn't checked when I looked after you said that's what needed to be changed.

 

[Zathras]

Did you try rebuilding the project anyway?

 

[lespaul]

yes and it didn't help.

How about Tools / Debugger Options... / General

"Debug spawned processes"

And Tools / Debugger Options... / Language Exceptions

"Stop on Delphi Exceptions"

 

[lespaul]

i'll check on those! thanks!

'Debug spawned processes' was not checked.

'Stop on Delphi Exceptions' was checked, I unchecked, built the project and still get the other pieces of code to step through.

It's a really annoying little problem!

thanks for trying!

It may be that the .dcu file(s) you are using aren't the ones you think they are. (Path issues.)

I would copy all of the source (but not the .dcu files) to another environment and build a new .exe there after carefully checking all of the search path references to be sure you aren't getting some cross-over effects.

(Look in the .dpr for any "hard-coded" path names, too.)
