what about grouping all the debug related ones in a submenu Debug in the right click context menu (toggle breakpoint , run to cursor,  set next statement) ?
No :) this will make them harder to use...

Could we hide the remote console on MSW with something like the following:
Does stopping the debuggee works if the console is hidden? If it works I have nothing against it :)

"Step Into" is enabled, runs the debugger but does not break the program.

Why is "Step Into" enabled before running the debugger?
Debug log please...

Yep, the double bar on the debugger tool bar breaks just fine with the patch.

"Step Into" is enabled, runs the debugger but does not break the program.

Why is "Step Into" enabled before running the debugger?

Debug log please...
This log is from a MSW simple wxWidgets Hello world, a rebuild, then a hit on the "Step Into" button.

Pecan: Thanks this is a regression caused by the 17.7 patch. I'll look into it.

BTW: Can someone try to reproduce this bug:

1. Start debugger
2. Break on some breakpoint
3. Show and dock the watches window
4. Select something in the editor
5. Drag and drop the selection in to the empty item at the bottom of the watches window

The result is that the drag'n'drop operation is cut not copy and the selected text is deleted from the editor.
I've successfully reproduced this bug on two linux machines:
1. gentoo amd64 unstable (gcc 4.4.5 + wxGTK 2.8.11)
2. fedora 8 amd64 inside vmware player (this machine was given to me and I don't know how updated it is)
Code
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep wx
wxGTK-2.8.9-1.fc8
wxGTK-gl-2.8.9-1.fc8
wxGTK-devel-2.8.9-1.fc8
wxBase-2.8.9-1.fc8

[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 #1 SMP Tue Oct 30 13:18:33 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)

Jens: I know, can you try on Suse, Fedora (if you have VMs for them)?

Dear devs,

I'm reporting a ugly behavior (IMO) of the new debugger interface (I don't remember if I met the same issue with the old interface). I would say it's a bug...

I was debugging a code using a vector of double (20k element) and watching the array I've got two different behavior.

I the first case, the working one, the debugger log is saying

> whatis &x
type = vector *
>>>>>>cb_gdb:
> output x
{
  <_Vector_base> = {
    _M_impl = {
      <allocator> = {
        <new_allocator> = {<No data fields>}, <No data fields>},
      members of _Vector_base::_Vector_impl:
      _M_start = 0x1204d88,
      _M_finish = 0x122be80,
      _M_end_of_storage = 0x1244d88
    }
  }, <No data fields>}>>>>>>cb_gdb:
> cont

and everything works right, I'm able to see the popup window and to watch the array in the watch window.

In the second case I've got

> whatis &x
type = std::vector<double, std::allocator<double> > *
>>>>>>cb_gdb:
> pvector x
elem[0]: $1 = 0.97340000000000004
elem[1]: $2 = 1.0048000000000001
elem[2]: $3 = 1.0362
elem[3]: $4 = 1.0676000000000001
.
.
.

The output log from the debugger is listing all the elements, the cpu was going to 100% and CB seems frozen.

In both case x is a local std::vector<double>. The only difference is that the first 'x' belongs to the main program I was debugging, the second 'x' belongs to a method of a class contained in a static library I linked to the program.

Because it happens to put the cursor over a such variable, just moving the mouse, in some case I've got
the CB frozen even if I had't the intention to debug the vector.

This is ugly  :D

Hope this helps.

Max

I've hit this bug, too... and it is a bit complex:

1. gdb doesn't know if a variable is initialized, so adding uninitialized vector to the watches cause CB to lock up (hovering on it, too)
2. cb doesn't limit the result set and I'm not sure if it could be fixed easily in the current non MI version of the plugin
3. it is present in the trunk version, because vector handling is not much different.

If you have time and energy you can look in stl-views-1.0.3.gdb for a way to limit the results returned from the pvector command.
Probably we should disable the usage of pvector in python enabled gdb's...

this is annoying bug, I have several bug report:

see:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12127
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11407

and there are some discussion on the gdb maillist.
it is hard to detect a variable is initialized or not, even it was initialized, then later it can be destroyed. I have a patch to solve partially when showing the local variables patch. see:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11407#c33

but that doesn't solve every thing. I'm wondering how it was done in other debugger like MSVC debugger???
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

They use limits in their GUI, the same is possible with GDB/MI :)

Their array control has a limit + scrolling...
Also they init variables with some magic numbers 0xfefefefe,0xabababab,0xcccccccc and it is possible that they use them to fix such problems...

yes, I totally agree with you!!!
