Code Blocks debugger fails with program arguments

Question

I'm using Code::Blocks 12.11 (with MinGW), and when I want to start a debugging session after setting program arguments, the GDB debugger just stop executing at the very beginning and the whole program freezes. It freaks me out, because I cannot debug my programs which need command line arguments. These are the last two lines in the "Debugger" window (after this nothing happens, Code::Blocks freezes):

Setting breakpoints
Debugger name and version: GNU gdb (GDB) 7.5

Does anyone know the reason, why GDB does not work with command line arguments?

GDB does work with command line arguments. Can you show a log of what GDB commands your IDE is actually running? — Carl Norum

Uhmm, where can I find this log? I found a "Debugger initialization commands" box in debugger settings, but it is empty, I dont know is that what you were talking about... Actually it sometimes works, sometimes freezes (with the same arguments!), just like there is a bug in Code::Blocks/GDB which sometimes comes up and sometimes doesn't. — Zoltán Várnagy

Hopefully by now you have looked here. This was just a simple google search :) — ryyker

Update CodeBlocks and GDB. It might be bugs and updating codeblocks is worth it because bugs have been solved.
