This is a list of things that theoretically should be possible in some
|
|
way or another. No commitment to actually do these, but these sound
|
|
possible to me right now. In no particular order. If someone else
|
|
wants to dig in, feel free.
|
|
|
|
1) Some kind of watchpoint capability. Pretty easy, but we end up
|
|
running the program really slowly one instruction at a time.
|
|
Use hardware debug registers for this (much harder)???
|
|
|
|
2) Some kind of .wdbinit file.
|
|
|
|
3) Add 'info line' command. Not all *that* useful, but it would tell you
|
|
the range of PC for a given source line.
|
|
|
|
4) Add search directory list for PDB files. We have the path in the
|
|
DOS notation (i.e. C:\foo\bar\xxx.c), which may be a useful hint.
|
|
Maybe not.
|
|
|
|
5) Add support for emacs mode so that you can run under emacs and have
|
|
the source pop up automatically. Only useful once the list command
|
|
is implemented.
|
|
|
|
6 Add support for Borland. I have heard rumors that Borland is forthcoming
|
|
with info about how their stuff works, so this might not be that
|
|
bad.
|
|
|
|
7 Add support for Win16. Not sure if this is really worth the trouble. How
|
|
much are people really going to use this in the long run???
|
|
|
|
8) Some of the newer displays are still a little bit sparse on information.
|
|
Make these more like gdb.
|
|
|
|
9) Make sure operator precedence works OK.
|
|
