Hi Martin, I recognize you from Netbeans Issuezilla :) It's great to hear someone has already started on this. Sounds I'm starting at the same place you did: looking at the ruby-debug-base c code and looking for the native methods we would need to implement in JRuby. Charles, is this headius branch the stub code you were referring to? It's marked as 0.9.3, is it still up to date?
Whenever you are ready, I'm happy to look at what you have and see where I can contribute. It will probably take me a bit to come up to speed, in looking briefly at the headius branch stub methods I'm pretty much without a clue as to where the JRuby API code is to implement them. But I'm willing to learn, any pointers and/or docs would be welcomed. --Chris On 8/17/07, Martin Krauskopf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Martin Krauskopf wrote: > > Chris Nelson wrote: > >> Guys, > >> > >> This sounds like an awesome list of stuff, but a feature that I think > >> would help a lot of with JRoR projects would be to improve the > >> debugging experience.
