The 24 August 2010 build (6527) DEBUGGER BRANCH version is out.

<< < (3/6) > >>

oBFusCATed:
Please concentrate on bugs, when we get to re-adding the local/args to the watches I could/will start a discussion...

Orgulas:
What about a combined "Debug/Continue" menu command? Just like the toolbar button, but with the ability to assign a hot key. Been missing it for so long...

This is a feature request, we can start another thread for such things :)

Regressions only please:)

p.s. I've added this to my TODO

Max:
Dear Devs,

I tested in several debugging sessions the new debugger plugin. Overall (IMO) the new interface works better than before. I didn't (so far) observe any regression. Moreover a very annoying bug (crash of CB during debugging) seems disappeared. I was used to get one or two crashes for each debugging session but now no crash at all.  :lol:

Two questions:

1) You wrote

* Catching exceptions should work now

but I can't agree with you :). Well it depends on the meaning of the word "work". To me it seems working as in the previous nightly.

For example


--- Code: ---
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>

void throwSomething(void);

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    try
     {
       throwSomething();
     }

     catch(std::runtime_error& except)
     {
       cout << "Hello Exceptions " << except.what() << endl;
     }

    cout << "This is the end" << endl;

    return 0;
}

void throwSomething(void)
{
  throw std::runtime_error("The Exception");
}

compiled with -Wall -fexceptions  -gstabs+  has the following behavior.

So no evidence of any Catching. Obviously the debugger stopped and I pressed continue. But when the debugger stops there is no info on the debugger panle, telling what is happening and where.

But in Debugger log panel I got

Does that mean " Catching exceptions should work now", or, in other words, is that the expected behavior?

2) Is there any plan to merge the new debugger into trunk? I really appreciate the lack of crashing!
Or is it planned to release, every now and then, a special nightly of the debugger branch? I don't like to use an old nightly.

Thanks and regards

Max

Added info:

Uisng MinGW GCC 4.5.0 (latest packages) with GDB 7.1, Windows XP SP3

killerbot:
what should be the behavior when an exception is thrown when running from within the debugger in CB ?
I would guess, things should continue since code was catching the exception, right ?
