C++ – Eclipse-CDT: How to configure the debugger to stop on an exception

cdebuggingeclipse-cdtexceptiongdb

This might be a GDB question.. but I'd like to run my app in the debugger and have the debugger break when an exception is thrown, so I can see where the code is and what its doing at that time.

I do this often in Visual Studio using the Debug -> Exceptions dialog, checking the 'Thrown' column beside the type of exceptions I'd like to stop on.

You can get the equivalent of gdb catchpoints in eclipse by:

From breakpoints view, invoke action(small triangle pointing downwards near the maximize button) -> Add Event Breakpoint (C/C++) -> Exception Thrown.

With a solution open, go to the Debug - Exceptions (Ctrl+D,E) menu option. From there you can choose to break on Thrown or User-unhandled exceptions.

EDIT: My instance is set up with the C# "profile" perhaps it isn't there for other profiles?

Java – How to assert that a certain exception is thrown in JUnit 4 tests

It depends on the JUnit version and what assert libraries you use.

For JUnit5 and 4.13 see answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/2935935/2986984
If you use assertJ or google-truth, see answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/41019785/2986984

The original answer for JUnit <= 4.12 was:

@Test(expected = IndexOutOfBoundsException.class)
public void testIndexOutOfBoundsException() {

    ArrayList emptyList = new ArrayList();
    Object o = emptyList.get(0);

}

Though answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/31826781/2986984 has more options for JUnit <= 4.12.
