+1 I'll amplify what @Jean-Michel.Perraud said: a "howto guide for mixed mode (C and C#) debugging on Linux" is absolutely essential for any serious development effort.
That's because the apparent lack of debugging capability really slows development for projects using mono. For an idea of what would really make mono a serious contender, note that Visual Studio on Windows debugs C++/CLI and C# seamlessly back and forth across the language boundary. -----Original Message----- From: mono-devel-list-boun...@lists.ximian.com [mailto:mono-devel-list-boun...@lists.ximian.com] On Behalf Of jean-michel.perr...@csiro.au Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2015 7:12 PM To: jonat...@mugginsoft.com; Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com Subject: Re: [Mono-dev] Compiling Mono with debug symbols to diagnose an issue with embedded Mono 4.0.2.5 I am trying to debug C code, mostly to step through the mono runtime itself. The issue seems to arise really quickly and I do not expect c# code (mine or the framework's) to be at fault here. That said, I would not at all refuse a howto guide for mixed mode (C and C#) debugging on Linux (not possible so far as I know). I may try to give a try on Windows with Visual Studio, but as a fallback option as this issue may not be reproducible on it anyway. ________________________________________ From: mono-devel-list-boun...@lists.ximian.com [mono-devel-list-boun...@lists.ximian.com] on behalf of Jonathan Mitchell [jonat...@mugginsoft.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2015 7:34 PM To: Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com Subject: Re: [Mono-dev] Compiling Mono with debug symbols to diagnose an issue with embedded Mono 4.0.2.5 > On 4 Aug 2015, at 08:26, jean-michel.perr...@csiro.au wrote: > > * build/install mono from source (I know that) but with debug symbols I would second this. > * If the above is done, can I use MonoDevelop or other graphical front-end to attach to the process with embedded Mono and step through code with GDB. I can already attach MonoDevelop to the R process and catch the crash, but the call stack is devoid of info and reference to the source code (presumably lacking the former debug symbols?) Are you trying to debug the managed code or the embedded C API?
