Hi, I've been working on a command line interface to Mono's soft debugger recently; I call it sdb-cli. It's going to be very similar to gdb and .NET's mdbg. It currently depends on Mono.Debugger.Soft from the Mono repository, and NRefactory/Mono.Debugging.Soft from MonoDevelop. The latter two are used for expression evaluation and a higher-level interface to the soft debugger.
The driving force behind this project is being able to debug applications without relying on an IDE. MonoDevelop is a great IDE, but it's not always practical to use a full-blown IDE for debugging. The project sits here: https://github.com/XTZGZoReX/sdb-cli It currently supports starting/pausing/stopping, breakpoints, watches, backtraces, disassembly, evaluation, source view, as well as inspection of locals, threads, etc. It's not complete, but it is in a fairly usable state now. It's relatively simple to use. Just run sdb-cli.exe after building it, and type "help" in the console. It'll list all currently supported commands. I'm hoping this project could become an official part of the Mono project. I realize that with the dependencies it has, including it in the Mono repository itself would be problematic. Would it be possible for it to have a repository under the Mono organization? Furthermore, if it does become a part of the Mono organization, is there any way that it could be packaged with Mono without causing friction (due to its dependencies)? (The latter is not *that* important, but it would be a great way to get this tool out to the masses.) Thanks!
