Last night I was looking to update the parrot_debugger utility to use the new embed_api2 branch stuff, but was running into problems. Somebody mentioned that the parrot_debugger program didn't really work, wasn't really the right solution anyway, and that all it's tests were commented out.
Does parrot_debugger work? Is it useful to anybody right now? If not, do we want to try to fix it in place or do we want to blow it away and maybe start on a replacement program? Something that is less focused on PIR/PASM and is more useful to HLLs (through annotations and things) would probably be better in general, though the ability to debug non-annotated PIR/PASM is obviously still valuable while those languages are still so heavily used. I do not think I am going to update parrot_debugger to use the new API before we start talking about a merger of the embed_api2 branch. If we decide to keep the debugger as is, we can update it later. Thanks, --Andrew Whitworth _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
