[ANN] A simple debugger for stepping though bytecodes.

Hi all,

We've just made a simple debugger for stepping through bytecodes. It's still just the first version so a lot of things can still be improved.

More info here: https://chisvasileandrei.wordpress.com/2015/01/15/a-bytecode-debugger/

Cheers,

Andrei

Re: [ANN] A simple debugger for stepping though bytecodes.

I am quite interested in plugin a Roassal visualization to a debugger.
I will discuss with Rosario, but maybe you have worked on something on your side? Would it be hard to have this?

Cheers,
Alexandre

Hi,

What do you mean by a Roassal plugin? You mean a debugger dedicated to debugging Roassal problems, or you mean Roassal visualizations for various debuggers?

To both the answer is that it is easy to do. If you want to see an example of using a Roassal visualization inside a debugger, you can take a look at the Glamour Debugger, but essentially you just have to create a browser like any other and put in there a Roassal presentation.

Cheers,

Doru

wow nice, great job Andrei

what are the practical uses for this debugger, does it also allow you change the bytecode as the regular debugger allow you to change code ?

Right now it doesn't allow you to change the bytecodes.

It's practical uses depend, more of less, on whether or not you are dealing with bytecodes or not.

If you are the it's quite useful to see how values are being pushed/popped from the stack. Also the normal debugger executes multiple bytecode instructions at once.

Andrei

It should not be hard to do…

I didn't got a chance to work more on it, but a simple version is quite easy to implement following the same implementation as the one from the RProfiler debugger.

Yes!

This is important for us to be able to do that :-)
