I am writing my first c program.
I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 6 ide.
The file has a c ending. contacts.c, so the de{*filter*} should interpret it
as a c file.

When I run my code normally, I get no problem with functions like printf
puts and gets.
However when stepping into, the degugger is asking me for the file path
eg of printf.c when it gets to a printf function.

What is going on and how do I avoid this?

Thankyou,

Jonathan

<OFF-TOPIC> The de{*filter*} is trying to debug standard functions too. I
know it's annoying, but the only way I know to stop it is to either
close the .c the de{*filter*} opened, or use the ``Run to cursor'' function
to skip lines that call standard functions. </OFF-TOPIC>

Any other VC++ specific questions you have should be posted to a Windows
newsgroup..

A C compiling environment may allow program linkage with a standard C
library version that includes debug information about the functions it
implements.  Although it's usually not of any interest to debug that
library (assuming it's tested and reasonably error-free), one might be
interested in tracing the libc to O.S. interface, e.g. for performance
issues.

An other reason for using such a library version may be the fact that
it bundles in-depth assertions in its code with the said debug
information.

You have to make a distinction between compiling your programs with
debug information and linking them with a debug library.
A hint is to look at possible compiler options vs. possible link
options.  This is of course highly platform dependent.  You will have
to look at the appropriate manuals.

You are trying to "step into" a library function, which you don't have
hte source code for. Try the "step over" key instead.
