Strange behavior of the debugger

I think I found a bug while trying to debug a program but I'm not quite sure...

I set the compiler to "Arduino" and compiling works just fine.

The .hex & -elf files are written to:

C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local/simulide/codeeditor/buildIno

but when I try starting the debugger, it compiles the program again and than says "Fehler: Hex Datei existiert nicht" = " Error: Hex file doesn't exist"
C:/Users/USERNAME/Downloads/SimulIDE_PCINT_Test/main.hex

where "C:/Users/USERNAME/Downloads/SimulIDE_PCINT_Test" is the folder of the .sim1 file.

The strange thing is, when I try to copy the compiled .hex file to "C:/Users/USERNAME/Downloads/SimulIDE_PCINT_Test/main.hex" and restart the debugger it deletes the copied file and crashes with the same error message.


Maybe I'm just doing something wrong here?


currently trying it on version 1.0.0 rev 1334 on Windows

can also try it on Linux if it helps?

Can you copy/paste here the complete output at the bottom panel from: "Starting Debbuger..." ?

unfortunately it's in german , but I hope my translations are good enough?

"C:/Users/Philipp/Downloads/SimulIDE_PCINT_Test/src/main.cpp"

What happens if you save the file as main.ino?

exactly the same :/
also moved the .cpp / .ino file into the same folder as the.sim1 file but still no luck

The sketch should be in a folder with no other files, but in most cases it does not matter.

I could reproduce your issue with a main.cpp but it is working ok for me with main.ino.

Can you share your main.cpp file (just copy/paste here) ?

sorry

it seems I confused the compiler because there was a main.cpp and a main.ino file.

I moved the main.ino file into a seperate folder it it seems to work just fine now.

Is there any way to use .cpp files? (would be easier to work with PlatformIO)

Thanks!

main.cpp was the same as in my issue regarding Pin Change Interrupts

Is there any way to use .cpp files? (would be easier to work with PlatformIO)

Right now Arduino compiler in SimulIDE is configured to work with .ino files.
But it could probably be posible to work with .cpp files, I will have a look.
