I have given up on getting symbols throughout AOO. The build system
unfortunately ignores --enable-symbols for many, if not most, modules
and partial building and rebuilding are not working for me.
As a workaround, I have a hack for compiling in a break. Visual Studio
has options to take breaks on exceptions being thrown. It works even in
code that does not have symbols generated. This e-mail is to make it
available to anyone in the future having the same problem, including my
own future self.
Put these lines at the start of the module, near other includes:
#include <exception>
#define ps_report(e) {class e : std::exception{}; try{ throw
e();}catch(e){}}
At any point where you need a break, put
ps_report(arbitrary_identifier)
The arbitrary_identifier can be any string that meets the syntax
requirements for an identifier. Build AOO.
Before reaching the intended break, enable break on C++ exception in
Visual Studio. If the ps_report use is reached, Visual Studio will treat
it as a breakpoint. The arbitrary_identifier will be displayed as part
of the exception class name. The call stack is available. You can
continue from the breakpoint, and the program flow will be unchanged
because the catch cancels out the exception.
