Symbol not found errors for Class Member Variables when Watching

Question

Hi.

I'm getting -

        cells    CXX0017: Error: symbol "localIsOpen" not found   

when debugging code using VS 2008 Pro. My class looks something like (cpp file)-

namespace BatchEngine
{
  const int PLAN_SIZE = 80;
  bool  localIsOpen=false;
 
  ...

  void MyFunction(int &value)
  {
    // Break point set here
    value = 10;

    ...
  }

  ...
}

I can view PLAN_SIZE using the debugger, but not localIsOpen. I have configured my linker as follows -

/Od /I "..\Global" /I "..\LxShare" /D "WIN32" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_CONSOLE" /D "HANDLE_EXCEPTIONS" /D "_VC80_UPGRADE=0x0700" /D "_MBCS" /FD /EHsc /RTC1 /MTd /Zp1 /Fp".\Debug/Line.pch" /Fo".\Debug/" /Fd".\Debug/" /FR".\Debug\\" /W3 /nologo /c /ZI /errorReport:prompt


MyFunction can be called from different threads launched from within the contructor for this class.

I'm using XP.

Any ideas why I can't watch localIsOpen?

Thanks,

Barry.

Answer 1

Hello,

That's because we miss the qualifier of the variable localIsOpen in namespace BatchEngine. Please try to input BatchEngine::localIsOpen in the watch window.

Best regards,

You might need to disable the C/C++ Optimization off. Project/YourProject Property/Configuration Properties/"C/C++"/Optimization/

Good luck,
