Markus, RDT-ers, I've had a number of of users asking when the debugger will support Linux/1.8.4 and/or be quicker like ArachnoRuby.
I'd really like to push for some C Ruby extension based debugger that can work across the 1.8.x versions of Ruby on Mac OSX, Linux and WinXP. I'd appreciate any pointers, names, people, code, patches, etc that anyone could toss out here to get us towards this goal. Our debugger support has been good in the past, but we are behind other Ruby IDEs in this regard now, and we really should begin to push for more compatibility and speed. Martin Hess passed along word on this project: http://www.datanoise.com/articles/2006/07/12/tutorial-on-ruby- debug#comments Perhaps we'd be able to leverage this? Really the only thing we need on top of any given ruby debugger is piping data in and out via sockets so when a user interacts with the Eclipse UI it'll send the appropriate command down the wire (and the response back again), so if there's a solid hackable debugger out there - it's not huge, huge pieces of code we need to write to hook in. Anybody game? Or have a cousin of a friend of a sister of an uncle of your second grade teacher who might be able to help us out?
