Dear Stas,
I know the hang problem (I've started to hack the ptkdb code but it is enough
complex...)
However I find the GUI debugger useful. My TEMPORARY workaround is:
1) Initially (and if possible) I've used a brutal 'kill 9 $$' code in cleanup handler
if (ref $r) {
$SIG{INT} = \&DB::catch;
$r->register_cleanup(sub {
$SIG{INT} = \&DB::ApacheSIGINT();
>>> kill 9, $$ if $ptkdb;
});
}
then now
2) I use the ptkdb 'File' menu command "Close Window and Run" (but I've added this in
the button bar) instead of "Run". In this case at the end of code, the debugger won't
hang and the window will closed. Note that if there are breakpoint, the window will be
closed and re-opened and all breakpoint are maintained (it is more convenient to use
'Close Window and Run' only after last breakpoint).
