How can I set a breakpoint in a header file? If I set one (big red dot) the program just flies right past without stopping.

Check if the #pragma SystemInclude is set (or something to that effect, I don't have ROBOTC in front of me now)

Speaking of breakpoints and ROBOTC Debugging, I've noticed that you can't step through tasks other than the Main task. That is very annoying, because in the VEX Robotics Competition, all your program is in, or is called from tasks. If I try to use the debugger, all I can step through is the code in the Debug_Includes file.

In order to test a bit of broken code from my competition program, I have to either run it and observe the results after it's completely finished, or take it out and paste it and it's needed supporting code directly into the task main() of a new file. Is there anyway around this?

Xander, I have no idea what you mean.

Check if your header file has "#pragma systemFile" in it and if it does, comment it out and restart ROBOTC.

Oh, no it certainly doesn't have that line.

I have the same issue in RobotC 3.54. Is there anyway around this?

You should really just give us a way to do a printf or something. The debugger can be useful sometimes but it is so buggy and incredibly difficult to use in comparison to others like NetBeans or Eclipse. I hate paying for such expensive software when it doesn't work well.

Had to come out of hiding to LOL that one. I've never encountered any open source software that wasn't buggy and difficult to use, and so expensive, $49? give me a break.

use assert to break any where any time.

use writedebugstream for printf - like that isn't obvious?

now back to hiding.....
