Dev-C is really old and the debugger is full of bugs. If you're sure the problem isn't with your code, then I'm assuming you've tried the basics, like restarting Dev-C and restarting the computer? If that doesn't work, try reinstalling Dev-C. It only takes a couple seconds to install it. You can also try stepping the code. This is the official website of Dev-C open source C & C IDE. A: The DEV-C 64-bit version was specially designed for 64-bit Windows Operating Systems and performed much better on those. The DEV-C 32-bit version was initially intended for 32-bit Windows Operating Systems, but it can also run on 64-bit Windows Operating Systems. DEV-C is an application that builds by Bloodshed Software.

Dev-C++ is a free full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) distributed under the GNU General Public License for programming in C and C++. It was originally developed by Colin Laplace and first released in 1998. It is written in Delphi.
It is bundled with, and uses, the MinGW or TDM-GCC 64bit port of the GCC as its compiler. Dev-C++ can also be used in combination with Cygwin or any other GCC-based compiler.[1]
DevPaks[edit]
An additional aspect of Dev-C++ is its use of DevPaks: packaged extensions on the programming environment with additional libraries, templates, and utilities. DevPaks often contain, but are not limited to, GUI utilities, including popular toolkits such as GTK+, wxWidgets, and FLTK. Other DevPaks include libraries for more advanced function use. Users of Dev-C++ can download additional libraries, or packages of code that increase the scope and functionality of Dev-C++, such as graphics, compression, animation, sound support and many more. Users can create DevPaks and host them for free on the site. Also, they are not limited to use with Dev-C++ - the site says 'A typical devpak will work with any MinGW distribution (with any IDE for MinGW)'.
Development status[edit]
From February 22, 2005 the project was not noticeably active, with no news posted nor any updated versions released. In a 2006 forum post, lead developer Colin Laplace stated that he was busy with real-life issues and did not have time to continue development of Dev-C++.[2] In a 2020 forum post, Orwell lead developer Johan Mes stated that he 'will probably still not have any time to work on this project'.[3]
There are three forks of Dev-C++ since then: wxDev-C++, the Orwell version, and the Embarcadero fork version.
wxDev-C++ version[edit]
wxDev-C++ is a development team that has taken Dev-C++ and added new features such as support for multiple compilers and a RAD designer for wxWidgets applications.[4]
Orwell version[edit]
On June 30, 2011 an unofficial version 4.9.9.3 of Dev-C++ was released by Orwell (Johan Mes), an independent programmer,[5] featuring the more recent GCC 4.5.2 compiler, Windows' SDK resources (Win32 and D3D), numerous bugfixes, and improved stability. On August 27, after five years of officially being in a beta stage, version 5.0 was released.[6] This version also has its own separate SourceForge[7] page since version 5.0.0.5, because the old developer isn't responding to combining requests. In July 2014, Orwell Dev-C++ 5.7.1 was released featuring the then recent GCC 4.8.1 which supports C++11.
Embarcadero version[edit]
On July 1, 2020 a new fork version 5.50 of Dev-C++ was sponsored and released by Embarcadero featuring a code upgrade to Delphi 10.4. On October 12, 2020 a new fork version 6.0 of Dev-C++ was sponsored and released by Embarcadero with a more recent GCC 9.2.0 compiler with C++11 and partial C++20 support, new high DPI support, UTF8 file support, upgraded icons, dark theme, and additional changes.[8]
Notable uses[edit]
Dev C++ Download Windows 10
On May 4, 2015, The Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong posted his Sudoku solver program in C++ on Facebook. In his screen shot, he's using Microsoft Windows and Dev-C++ as his IDE.[9]
It is often recommended for beginners learning C or C++,[10][11][12][13][14][15] and is available on Wine.[16] It is compared with Turbo C++[17] or other IDEs.[18]

hello altogether,
my name is Wolfram Pagels, Berlin, Germany
my status is :retired but enthusiastic c++-fan;
I use Dev-C++ since 3 month ago; in the 70th I programmed in Fortran;
after a long break I enjoy to learn c++11;
Dev C++ 5.11
e.g.: the day before yesterday I got the following message from Dev-C++:
Dev C++ For Windows 10
My second question to you: * h o w to enable (these) options at my installed and running actual mingw compiler as part of Dev-C++ IDE ?
Thank you in advance for your time,
yours sincerely

Well, the answer to your problem (but not to your question) is to change your IDE. Dev-C++ is far too old to support C++11. The MinGW GCC version that ships with Dev-C++ is version 3.4.2, which is really old. Decent support for C++11 starts roughly from 4.6.0, but since it is still experimental, the newer the better. Currently, you can get 4.7.1 version through '>TDM-GCC ports. I recommend switching to '>CodeBlocks, which you can download as an installer that includes TDM-GCC 4.7.1. That should allow you to have decent C++11 support.

As for setting compiler options, you typically have to navigate the 'Build Configuration' or 'Project Properties' or similar panels. Usually, you will find a place to put 'custom compiler options' where you can place the exact command-line compiler option (like -std=c++11), that is, if you can't find a checkbox for the particular option you need.
