Hi Chris,
Well, I'm glad you've managed to hack around the limitations ;)
Sorry about the delay, I was nursing a bad tooth.
I agree that it is irritating to have to specify debug.target
in the user properties, in those important cases where
scite-gdb can't guess the target. Any suggestions would be
welcome!
It was easy to reproduce the problem, and to find a hack:
just put double-quotes around the debug.target:
debug.target="c:\Program Files\SciTE Test\test1.exe"
But here's the proper fix! In gdb.lua, after line 273
where the target has just been discovered, insert:
if find(target,"%s") and sub(target,1,1) ~= '"' then
target = '"'..target..'"'
end
I will have a new improved version of scite-gdb available on
Monday:
- apart from gdb, can do mdb (Mono Debugger), jdb (Java)
and pydb (Python!). These are less complete implementations
but I've successfully generalized the code to handle new
cases.
- Can kill a running program
- All those commands in the Tools menu are filled in only when
they're needed (after launching the debugger for the first
time)
- there is a Lua interpreter prompt available when the
debugger is not active.
- runnaway recursion would completely freeze the
interface.
- some subtle threading issues handled which were
occaisionally bringing down SciTE in flames.
Honestly, one of my major problems is deciding what
damn shortcuts to use! Things like Alt+R don't work
in GTK, and Ctrl+Alt+R are somewhat awkward.
