[gdal-dev] Debugging in Visual Studio 2019?

[Joaquim Manuel Freire Luís]

Debugging with VS is actually simple. You need:


  *   To build GDAL and your driver in debug mode
  *   Step 1, see Screenshot_1. Load one executable that has a code path into that of your driver (gdalinfo?)
  *   Step 2, see Screenshot_2. Right-click on Properties and give the full set of options to run the executable select in 2)
  *   Load the c/c++ codes and set breakpoints.
  *   Hit F5, etc... (here I'm assuming you know how to use the debugger)

NOTE. Screenshot_2 will be sent in a second message as the limit for the attach is so low that makes is very difficult to attach images-

Good luck

Joaquim

Hi everyone,
I am a little stuck in something. Let's see if someone can help me.

I'm immersed in the creation of a new driver.
First step OK: download GDAL from GitHub, install some dependences, and use Cmake to create GDAL for Visual Studio. Big one project.
Second step OK: Add a new driver in ogr (using another project as inspiration) in this big project (adding some lines in CmakeLists etc..)
Third step: fill all functions to really make this driver work.
I'm stuck here. I want to debug in Visual Studio to complete the Third step but I don't know how. There is any way to debug something (in Visual Studio project I created using CMake) like a simple transformation "ogr2ogr layer.shp MiraMon_layer.pol ". I'm interested in debug inside the code to see if all is as I expect and this kind of things developers do... If not, then I supose I have to use testing
After having the project created I don't know how to debug it.
