Netbeans debugger not working (GDB has unexpectedly stopped with return 1)

Question

Everytime I try to debug my project with netbeans it doesn't let me do so. It gives the following error:-

"GDB has unexpectedly stopped with return 1"

And when I choose 'ok' it just stops everything. My project runs without any errors when I try to do so in netbeans. I want to step into my code and not being able to do so. Can somebody help me out with this? Thanks.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I cleared my old debug breakpoints and this clear up the issues. I think the old breakpoints were pointing to dead code.
