stop eclipse CDT from debugging from main

Question

If I debug my C++ code using eclipse CDT, it appears that it always starts the debugging process from the main() function, even though there is no breakpoint at the beginning of the main().

Is there a way to have eclipse CDT start to debug from the first breakpoint rather than main()?

Answer 1

On the menu Run -> Debug Configurations, right click the C/C++ Applications item on the left, and create New configuration. Go to the Debugger tab and uncheck the Stop on startup at checkbox.
