Debugging stand-alone applications

Hi Paolo,

I wonder if there could be an easy way from within smalltalk to invoke the
various scripts (profile, remote, convert,package) from within the other.

E.g. I would like to profile a run of (gst-sunit or gst-package), I would like
to debug a crash inside the gst-remote. Right now my option will be to
manipulate the Smalltalk args and then FileIn the various scripts.

is there a better way?

True. is the mini debugger capable of suspending all processes and activating
itself? I figured out that the only weird part about gst-remote is the change
of Compilers (#Compiler package).

So right now I know:

- PackageLoader fileInPackage: #Compiler; fileInPackage: #Sockets will fail.
- PackageLoader fileInPackage: #Compiler; fileInPackage: #Grease will use all
  memory and unless you have a infinite turing tape abort the VM. :)

I will look into the second issue, maybe by monday.

Hmmm, did you mean this to be a reply to the GST 4.1 post of Paolo?

Core/Text/GRIn.st?

Hey,

no it is not a joke. The file exists[1] and the Parser/Compiler written in
Smalltalk goes into a infinite loop and consumes all the memory on the way
(all that the VM can allocate).

I will create a test case for it.
