Does GDB seem to be executing slower than you expect? Have you set more breakpoints than are supported on your Debugger? Information and links below...
When you are using a hardware debugger you can often find that debugging is far slower than you expect.
One of the reasons for this can be that there are more breakpoints set than are supported on your debugging device (Hardware breakpoints). Here we show you how to find out if this is the case in Visual Micro, and demonstrate the difference this can make to execution.
There are other reasons GDB can be slower than other debugging tools, due to how it has to manage the execution stack, but as we see here there are far simpler issues which can be solved.
Of course an alternative is to use the Visual Micro Serial Debugger, which supports more breakpoints than the hardware debuggers, and charting and digital pin interaction controls.
