How do I debug the debugger?

Hi all.

I am trying to track down this bug:

https://timmydosmalltalk.wordpress.com/2016/05/29/linux-64x64-squeak-cog-spur-display-problems/

I need to debug how that debugger window gets built.

ideas?

thx

Re: How do I debug the debugger?

You could start by putting a breakpoint in Debugger
class>>morphicOpenOn:context:label:contents:fullView: or
ToolBuilder>>openDebugger:label:

Also save your image before you start your debugging attempt. The last
time I tried to debug the Debugger, stepping out of the original
context or, in general, pressing the wrong button at the wrong time
gave me countless more debuggers or froze the image. However, if you
only navigate through the ToolBuilder code, you might be better off.

Re: How do I debug the debugger?

Hi Jakob.

I just got into ToolBuilder and that is where the problem is.

Debugger >>buildFullWith:

I am able to make the windows that should be there jump and twitch

by not adding some windows to the pluggableWindowSpec components.

I will poke around pluggableWindowSpec now.

thx.

Re: How do I debug the debugger?

Hi, Timothy.

I would start by comparing method source code. Has the 64-bit version the same update map? What is the difference between a 32-bit trunk image with the latest update and a 64-bit trunk image with the latest update? Not sure how to diff this, though.... :-/

Best,
Marcel

There's no 64-bit update map. 64-bit images use exactly the same code as
32-bit images do.
