[Dltk-dev] dbgp encoded property values

["Jae Gangemi" <jgangemi@xxxxxxxxx>]

  does anyone know if the dbgp spec defined what the property element is supposed to look like when it contains the encoded  value data? the spec  gives this:
<property
    name="short_name"
    fullname="long_name"
    type="data_type"
    classname="name_of_object_class"
    constant="0|1"

    children="0|1"
    size="{NUM}"
    page="{NUM}"
    pagesize="{NUM}"
    address="{NUM}"
    key="language_dependent_key"
    encoding="base64|none"


    numchildren="{NUM}">
...encoded Value Data...
</property>
  but it seems to leave open exactly how the encoded value data is stored within the property element.

  it seems that the active state's perl debugging engine returns a property element that looks like this:

  <property fullname="$num" name="$num" encoding="base64" type="scalar" constant="0" children="0" size="5" >
    <value encoding="base64">
      <![CDATA[NQ==]]>
    </value>
  </property>

  while the tcl implementation returns this:

  <property name="$a" fullname="$a" type="string" size="1" children="0" encoding="base64">
    <![CDATA[Mw==]]>
  </property>

  the parseContent method in DbgpXmlParser does not look to see if the property element has any grand children that may contain the value instead.
