|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- No horizonal scrollbar in the variables widget.

|
|
|
|
- Debugged application somtimes not killed.
|
|
|
|
- Fix moving breakpoints on editing files
|
|
|
|
- Pressing tab in memory range dialog modified the edited file.
|
|
|
|
- Testing stepping into code for which gdb can't find the file or fullname.
|
|
Test stepping (or stepi) into undebuggable code.
|
|
|
|
- Test files without debug info
|
|
|
|
- Reconsider fixed font in variable widget
|
|
|
|
- Investigate 'stop on shlib load breaking next" on Dario's project.
|
|
|
|
- Incoming bug reports:
|
|
|
|
- Check core files usage.
|
|
|
|
- Fix remote target dialog, which is confusing and requires
|
|
to specify tree scripts!
|
|
|
|
- Big projects
|
|
|
|
- Add support for other special types (STL)
|
|
|
|
- Breakpoints
|
|
|
|
- Add shortcuts to context menu.
|
|
|
|
- Add icons
|
|
|
|
- tqStatus display column is just ugly
|
|
|
|
- Handle "out of breakpoints" message.
|
|
|
|
- Check that changing breakpoint when program is running works sanely.
|
|
Need to either disable breakpoints widget when debugger is busy, or
|
|
stop debugger when we add new breakpoint.
|
|
|
|
- Implement gdb -> KDevelop breakpoint addition for all existing
|
|
breakpoint types.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- For function breakpoints, the 'file' property of breakpoint from
|
|
gdb is not a fullname (gdb 6.4), so we don't find the file.
|
|
|
|
- For function breakpoints with gdb CVS, clicking on marker corresponding
|
|
to function breakpoint does not clear it, but adds a new one.
|
|
|
|
- "Immediately leave function" breakpoint type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Watchpoints redux:
|
|
|
|
- Fix status display for watchpoints
|
|
|
|
- Test loading of read watchpoints from session file.
|
|
|
|
- Change "toogle watchpoint" into checkbox.
|
|
|
|
- "Read watchpoint triggered" message disappears too soon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Fix up the mess with relative vs. full names of files for breakpoints.
|
|
|
|
|
|
UI cleanup:
|
|
|
|
- The dialog box on watchpoint hit draws slowly initially.
|
|
|
|
- Cntrl-Enter for "add watch".
|
|
|
|
- Close all opened thread when opening other?
|
|
|
|
- The dialog box shown in MI errors is ugly. Often, it contains names
|
|
of internal gdb functions, or no interest to outsiders.
|
|
|
|
- Should strip formatting when copying from gdb output window.
|
|
|
|
Console command interaction:
|
|
|
|
- Handle "Program exited" messages from CLI "continue".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Code cleanup:
|
|
|
|
- Rename FileLine to Code.
|
|
|
|
- Kill raw char* manipulation.
|
|
|
|
- Fix hardcoded color in framestack widget
|
|
|
|
- Kill 'trimmableItem'.
|
|
|
|
Minor tweaks:
|
|
|
|
- Need some "scope" for error reporting. Say, we can try to set invalid
|
|
breakpoint condition from session file, on debugger startup. Need to
|
|
produce message like:
|
|
"Error detected when setting condition for breakpoint 1",
|
|
not a pretty opaque error we get now.
|
|
|
|
- Highlight type changes in variable widget
|
|
|
|
- Highlight composite types changes?
|
|
|
|
- Test that modifying breakpoint while application is running works.
|
|
|
|
- If remembered expresion includes dereferences pointer as a child,
|
|
that child is still updated as we step.
|
|
|
|
- Error in 'finish' command (e.g. on the outer frame) hides the
|
|
current line indicator.
|
|
|
|
- Should disable the 'finish' command on the outer frame.
|
|
|
|
Optimizations:
|
|
|
|
- If we're in some function and looked at frame 0 and frame 1, and
|
|
then run "finish", we need to reuse VarFrameRoot for previous frame
|
|
1, which now became frame 0, no need to recreate it. Generally, need
|
|
to preserve open/closed state of all variables for all scopes.

BUGS/ISSUES found:
|
|
|
|
- "set edit off" breaks MI
|
|
- no stop reason for stop on shared library load
|
|
- using "interpreter mi -whatever" when already in MI
|
|
mode causes gdb to output two "^done" messages and
|
|
it confuses us.
|
|
- No support for "character" format in -data-evaluate-expression
|
|
or -var-set-format
|
|
- Some of the -stack* command operate on current frame unless one is
|
|
specified, but -stack-list-arguments will print all frames.
|
|
|
|
- Output of -thread-list-ids uses the following syntax
|
|
|
|
{thread-id="1",thread-id="2"}
|
|
|
|
which is neither tuple nor list.
|
|
|
|
- Pending breakpoits broken in MI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Varobj broken:
|
|
|
|
- When entering new scope, we need to issue -stack-list-locals
|
|
to get names of new varaibles in that scope.
|
|
|
|
- When stopping inside undebuggable code (say, on watchpoint hit),
|
|
-file-list-exec-source-file reports the last valid source file.
|
|
|
|
- It's not possible to find if intefiour is running or not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Advantages of MI
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The information is easier to extract.
|
|
|
|
- For watchpoint, getting the old and new value of
|
|
watched expression for display is trivial. For CLI,
|
|
this is tricky and not done in current code.
