Hello Lazarus-List, I'm trying to improve some debug parts up to where my skills let me and I had found some things that I was unable to understand:
1) I was unable to find how TIDEWatch is connected with GDBMIDebugger, in special the "GetValue" property getter. As I understand GetValue will return the "default value representation" so to add override representation, in example "memory dump", a new function should be added like "GetValue(FormatSet)". 2) The IDE hints are always draw using DT_CENTER which ruins any multiline representation. Is possible to remove this DT_CENTER from "procedure THintWindow.Paint" ? 3) In the case of class debug I had added to the result the data returned from evaluating de dereference, something like inspecting "Class" and "Class^" which offers more information. Are this kind of improvements of some interest ? 4) gdb class information looks very strange to me, in example a TMemoryStream dumps: ~"type = TMEMORYSTREAM = class : public TCUSTOMMEMORYSTREAM \n" ~" private\n" ~" FCAPACITY : LONGINT;\n" ~"\n" ~" public\n" ~" procedure SETCAPACITY (TMEMORYSTREAM, ONGINT, );\n" ~" function REALLOC (TMEMORYSTREAM, ONGINT, ) : POINTER; virtual;\n" ~" destructor ~DESTROY (TMEMORYSTREAM, OINTER); virtual;\n" ~" procedure CLEAR (TMEMORYSTREAM);\n" ~" procedure LOADFROMSTREAM (TMEMORYSTREAM, STREAM, );\n" ~" procedure LOADFROMFILE (TMEMORYSTREAM, ANSISTRING);\n" ~" procedure SETSIZE (TMEMORYSTREAM, ONGINT, ); virtual;\n" ~" function WRITE (TMEMORYSTREAM, onst7, ) : LONGINT; virtual;\n" ~"end\n" Note the missing "L" in second parameter when LONGINT was expected, or missing "T" in LOADFROMSTREAM, but the most strange to me is the "onst7". What's "const7" ? Does anybody know why those letters are missing ? 5) When an exception is raised and "stop" button is pressed usually the assembler window pops up instead the line where the exception happends, or the nearest line with debug information. I had changed my code to show the assembler window only if no line with debug information is found in the backtrace. But I do not exactly know how that procedure works and maybe I missed something important, or maybe that's the expected behavior :-? -- Best regards, JoshyFun -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
