Just use `up' and `down' to move through the frames and then do `show params' (for parameters) and `show locals' (for locals). There are two primary reasons why this isn't included in a backtrace: a) One key objective for the debugger is to have the backtrace code as robust as it possibly could be. Printing parameters in other stack frames should work most of the time, but there are a lot of things which may go wrong, for instance they may be stored in registers which aren't valid anymore etc. b) Printing parameters is mostly useless without doing method invocations; most managed types have a custom ToString(), but use mainly properties and not fields for their publicly visible data. Support could probably be added for simple types, but it'd just confuse that user if we only do simple types and no structs/classes/arrays etc. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
