    When i debug my application , breakpoints which i set inside class definition is not hit , if those class are defined in a file which has no extension...

    See the below link for reference....
    https://ufile.io/0e56f

    My breakpoints not hitting in file which has no extension, happens only with file that has .cpp/.c extension....

    I would like to know if debugging is possible with file which has no extension.....If so, please guide me how to do them.....

    Hi. you should mention which compiler/debugger
    I suspect it is Visual Studio.

        So the answer to your question is somewhere
        https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sc65sadd.aspx

        ps. Its very not common to have no extensions. So if it cant work, i won't be surprised.
        Its very bad idea in my book as it violates old rules and expectations.

          Hi,
          I am working on an open source project named openIG, which has standard files containing class declaration and definition without any file extension... I am not able to debug the class function inside those files by setting breakpoint.....

          I would like to know if there is any way to debug files which does not has .cpp or .h file extension....

          https://ufile.io/083bd
          check the above link and see the red rectangle box indicating the file type

          any help is appreciated.....

          Could you share the link to the sources? The one I found looks to be in Java

            Place a breakpoint in a file that calls code in the extensionless file. Follow using step functions (f11). See where it goes!

            EDIT: f11 is for visual studio; I do not know the QtCreator shortcut.

                  Could you break anywhere?

                  Show your code please :-)

                    I am not able to debug inside AnimationPath File shown in the link.......

                    I am able to debug and set breakpoints only in files with .cpp extension..... This AnimationPath File has no extension...Its file type is mentioned as "File" itself....Check the link below .......

                      @Vinoth-R

                      Try putting a breakpoint in the code calling .getMatrix(...). Then use step functions to go in. Will it hit? Are you sure the code is actually being called from outside? Who calls it and how?

                      AnimationPath myAnimationPath(...);
                      myAnimationPath.getMatrix(...);  //Put breakpoint here, step in. Does it work?

                          Well that is strange. Make sure to use the proper step function (step into, not step over). Other than that I am at a loss. Sorry :-(

                            @BjornW Thank you for helping me........

                            I tried step into only..

                            Have u ever tried debugging a (c/c++)code in a file which has no extension or with extension other than (.cpp/.c) file format ????

                              Is the library built with debug info enabled?
