Hi,

I currently embed Spidermonkey 1.8.5 in our software (mostly written in C).
I also implemented a basic debugger using JSDBGAPI 
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JSDBGAPI_Reference )
Is this what you mean by jsd below or is that something different?
If it is the same thing then is there another C/C++ based API that can be used 
in the future?
i.e. Will my debugger still work in a newer Spidermonkey release?

I have seen the documentation for the new JS Debugger API 
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/JS_Debugger_API_Guide )
which says:

The new JavaScript Debugger API introduced in SpiderMonkey 1.8.6 provides a 
convenient, easier-to-use API than the old JSDBGAPI for implementing JavaScript 
debugging features

but this is JavaScript rather than C/C++

Is someone able to clarify this?

Thanks

Miles
