phantom breakpoint

Dear support,

When debugging code in Attolic TRUEStudio I am facing a fantom breakpoint phenomena. Sometimes I see this report from Console

Temporary breakpoint 
 
1, main () at ..\src\main.c:71
 
71 int ret = 0;
 
No breakpoint number 2.

It's a showstopper.

Sometimes that breakpoint disappears without my intervention. I see another post here also unresolved. Is there some advice about what to do in such cases?

Thank you

    Hi, ok I have removed all breakpoints, clean project, exit IDE and reopen. Problem seems to dissapear for now. I am quite aware because it happens that program stops at that phantom breakpoint even if I exited studio and let program run. The most secure solution for me is to build release version.

    Restart IDE and/or computer, close/open project, update to supported IDE.

    Might be able to see what breakpoints it thinks are there using debugger commands.

    Hi

    unfortunatelly this annoys me for more than week. Restarted IDE/computer many times. I don't use breakpoints at all so the only one visible breakpoint is at start of main.

    IIRC another advise was to start from a clean eclipse workspace and import the projects...

    Also, clear all breakpoints, then set new breakpoint at main() or where you want, and click on reset target. Then the debugger should catch up.

    The same problem with CubeIDE, GDB, STLink over SWD. The problem disappeared after I clean project and rebuild alL
