| [cdt-debug-dev] Some questions about Debugger |
|
Hi all!
Let me ask some
questions about CDT Debugger. :)
1. What do you think
about assignment some hot keys to some action, for example, for breakpoint
setting or for "Run to line" action? I think the debugger process will become
more comfortable with hot keys
2. May be I have an archaic version
but it seemed to me that while debugging, expressions, which user
can watch in _expression_ view, don't update. Will you plan
to make this feature?
3. As I understood Gdb doesn't
let to work in Suspend/Resume mode. I mean mode in which if
I launch a program I can suspend its work and program will stop somewhere
and will be waiting for subsequent work or terminate command. As I have seen the
button "Suspend" is always disabled. Do you have some plans or thoughts about
it?
4. I've notised strange behavior when
debugging infifnite-cycle program. I'll try to describe the
problem. When I start debugging process there appears new tree item in Debug
View. It consists of 1 upper node named like current "Launch
Configuration" and 2 above: first named "Cygwin GDB Debugger"(it may
consist of many other nodes but it's not important now) and second simply "gdb".
If we've terminated program which was in "stopped" condition all 3 nodes
mentioned above would turn into "<terminated>" state. But if I'm
trying to stop program with infifnite-cycle(so all is in "running" state) in it
in a usual way, only "Cygwin GDB Debugger" node become
"<terminated>", and another 2 nodes are still in running state!
And if I'm trying to terminate one of them, error occurs - "Terminate failed".
But it's not the end. :). If I trying to stop
program in unusual way, i.e. terminate "Launch configuration" node or terminate
"gdb" node - everything is ok, no errors occurs!
Is it correct work?
5. I've noticed "Global variables" popup
menu item in _expression_ View, but it's always empty while debugging in my
version of CDT. How do you plan to use this item?
Great thanks in advance for your
answers,
