'Breakpoints won't hit on CLion

CLion gives the following hover message accompanied with a "no" sign instead of a breakpoint red dot:

This breakpoint will currently not hit. No executable code associated with the following line.

This also happens when I put a breakpoint on a print statement. The print statement does get printed in the std output. How can the line not be associated with executable code then?

This most likely means that the code is optimized out and will not be included in the executable you are running.

The breakpoint validation is a recent feature.
