IronPython users, We have a fairly robust editor/shell written in IronPython, using Gtk#, running under cross-platform Mono with abilities to switch between many languages (including Python, Ruby, Scheme, Lua, FSharp, CSharp, Boo, and a new visual Scratch-based language called Jigsaw. Although not all are DLR-based.) [1].
What would be the best option for creating an interactive debugger for the DLR languages on Mono? We would want to be able to set break-points, single step, and inspect local variables. Ideally, this would be a generic, language-neutral API, but if we have to do one for each language, that might work too. Things we've looked at: a) Seo's FePy Mono Profiler, but that seems too low-level, and requires C code for each platform. b) Microsoft.Scripting.Debugging [3], but will that work under Mono? c) sys.settrace(), but that would be Python-specific, and can't single-step (?) Are there other issues/options to consider? Please feel free to point me towards useful resources.
