RE: [dsdp-dd-dev] Windows Debugger

Excellent, thanks Doug. I’ll definitely check with Toni when he gets back. We should probably raise a CDT bug on this issue to make sure it gets addressed. On debugger at a time should be fine for now.

 

P.S. I’m sure I only got bit because I asked J.

Hi Doug,

 

Toni has some experience with DSF and CDI working together.  (He’s on vacation for another week.)  In our commercial product, he had to do some work to allow both DSF and CDI to exist together.

 

The main problem was breakpoints and which debugger to use for setting them.  I believe if you have one debugger running at a time, you’re ok.  However, if you set breakpoints prior to launching, they default to CDI.  We should definitely discuss this at the CDT summit.  I’ll leave the details to Toni to explain when he gets back. 

 

Doug

 

P.S.  I like the name.  J  Looks like you were the first to get bitten by the new trademark policy.

Hey gang,

 

If you’ve followed my work on the CDT, I’m taking a shot at improving it’s usability for desktop development through my new project called Wascana, http://wascana.sourceforge.net, which was originally called CDT for Windows. As a key part of that I’ve restarted my work on the integration with the Windows debug engine. To help me learn DSF, I would like to use it for the Eclipse side.

 

But I guess before I start, I have a question. Does DSF and CDI play nicely together in CDT 4.0.x? Wascana will come with both Windows SDK support and MinGW gdb which uses CDI, at least for now. If there are issues and they are simple enough to fix, I’d like to do so for CDT 4.0.1.

 

BTW, my integration uses JSON (www.json.org) to communicate between Java and a C++ debugger executable that uses IDebugClient and friends. It’s not MI and I’m free to specify my own protocol giving me flexibility to decide what goes on the C++ side versus in Eclipse. Should simplify things, in theory J.
