Rushabh,


#include  is used to pull in header files (*.h), not source files.

A header file provides information about other source files;
they list what functions the other source files provide, not
how these function work.

In general, you can't set a break point on an #include <> line.


Try this code

file: main.cpp

#include <stdio.h>
#include "test.h"

int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
  testFn();
  printf("Hi\n");
}


file: test.h

extern void testFn(void);

file: test.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include "test.h"

void testFn(void)
{
  printf("hello world.\n");
}


and compile with
gcc -g main.c -o main.o
gcc -g test.c -o test.o
gcc -g test.o main.o



HTH,
