Hello,
I'm working on GDB/MI compatible interface for Mago debugger on Windows.
GDB/MI is line based machine interface for debugger. IDEs are using GDB
via this interface.
GDB/MI docs: https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/GDB_002fMI.html
Project page (mago fork) https://github.com/buggins/mago
Currently mago-mi supports subset of GDB commands enough for current
DlangIDE functionality.
Tested on DMD generated 32bit executables.
See readme details list of implemented commands:
https://github.com/buggins/mago/tree/master/MagoMI/mago-mi
Difference from baseline https://github.com/rainers/mago files are
minimal:
- Static linking for MagoNatDE and MagoNatEE
- Disabled some Mago debug logging
Building mago-mi from source is easy. I've tried MS Visual Studio 2013
and 2015. Don't forget to edit properties in mago/PropSheets. Buld
mago-mi project.
Since DlangIDE v0.6.1, it includes prebuilt mago-mi.exe (it will be
copied into bin directory by dub build) and default Debugger settings
are changed from gdb to mago-mi by default on Windows. If you already
used DlangIDE on your computer, check Edit/Preferences/Debugger setting
- change to "mago-mi" if "gdb" is specified.
If you want to try mago-mi and DlangIDE which is using it, you can
download binaries from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/crengine/files/DlangUI/dlangide-v061-magomi-v010-x86.zip/download
(or just sync to latest dlangide and use `dub run`). Bundle includes
DlangIDE, mago-mi, dub, and sample workspaces (helloworld and tetris).
Download size is 5.4Mb (seems small enough for IDE+debugger).
I hope my work will be useful for other IDE developers who is targeting
on Windows.
(Any IDE which uses gdb/mi interface)
I tried gdb and lldb-mi before, but did not managed to find working
compiler + debugger configuration. (Best combination was gdb + gdc, but
it was showing global variables instead of locals. For lldb-mi, I
haven't managed to find compiler which produces compatible debug info).
Best regards,
Vadim
Impressive work!
I'm currently working on improving integration in VS. For this, I also
needed a static library version of MagoNatDE. I just pushed my changes,
I hope it doesn't break anything for you.
If you want to stay in sync, please consider a PR with your changes to
mago.
Can Mago debug programs with debug information in the COFF format? If
not, any chance this could be added, or is it a big task?
