CE 6.0 R3: User Breakpoints will not be hit if the PDB is larger than 20+ MB.

Symptoms

User instantiated breakpoints will not work in modules when their PDB size exceeds 20+ MB.

Cause

There is an architectural limitation in the current debugger design that prevents PDBs larger than 20MB working with user instantiated breakpoints.

Resolution

[Option 1]
Separate your project into a set of smaller sets of DLL and EXE files that generate PDBs less than 20MB in size.


[Option 2]
If your project is broken up into multiple libraries you can selectively turn off debugging for those sections of your module.

You can do this using the C_DEBUG_INFO_FLAG=NONE in the Sources file for the module libraries that you do not need to debug at the moment.
