Work on permitting pike code to be debugged interactively is underway, and currently exists as a rough proof of concept in branch bill/debugger-concept. The debugger requires pike to be compiled with --with-debug and can be enabled using --debugger option to pike, with enables a hilfe server on port 3333Current features of the POC:- Can set a single breakpoint.
- Hilfe interface
- Backtrace viewing
- View locals (but names are not resolved)
- Modify locals
- Single stepping
- ContinueThings that need to be done:- Support multiple breakpoints (store and search breakpoint multiple info.)
- Breakpoint removal
- Frame stack browsing
- Local name calculation
- A programmatic interface to the debugger
- Related: should pike pause to wait for a debugger to connect for breakpoints, etc to be set?
- Step-over, in, return, etc. These require understanding of code structure
- Watchpoints?
- Efficiency improvements?
- Work to not require RTL debug
- Make ports configurableSet breakpoint using this method:
// set a breakpoint at line 22 in the current program program p = this_program; add_breakpoint(p, 22);
