Category: Extension Modules Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: gotgenes (gotgenes) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: pdb unable to jump to first statement Initial Comment: The Python debugger is unable to "jump" back to the first executable statement in a frame once that statement has been executed. For example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/development/playground$ python -m pdb simple.py > /home/chris/development/playground/simple.py(3)?() -> a = 1 (Pdb) next > /home/chris/development/playground/simple.py(4)?() -> b = 2 (Pdb) jump 3 > /home/chris/development/playground/simple.py(3)?() -> a = 1 (Pdb) list 1 #!/usr/bin/env python 2 3 a = 1 4 -> b = 2 5 6 c = a + b 7 8 print c [EOF] (Pdb) next > /home/chris/development/playground/simple.py(6)?() -> c = a + b One can see that after supposedly "jump"ing to line 3 at the second command, when "list"ing the line, the debugger is actually at line 4. The "next" command further demonstrates this since it re-executes line 4 and moves to line 6. This issue was raised on comp.lang.python. (For example, see <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/7960201616873f41/e9623c08e3618051> or if that link is munged, refer to <http://tinyurl.com/324feu> Duncan Booth offers the following: [quote] I verified (with a print statement in pdb) that assigning to self.curframe.f_lineno sets self.curframe.f_lineno and sel.curframe.f_lasti incorrectly ... The problem looks to be in frameobject.c: addr = 0; line = f->f_code->co_firstlineno; new_lasti = -1; for (offset = 0; offset < lnotab_len; offset += 2) { addr += lnotab[offset]; line += lnotab[offset+1]; if (line >= new_lineno) { new_lasti = addr; new_lineno = line; break; } } The first bytes in lnotab are the length and line increment for line 3 (i.e. 6, 1). If line==f->f_code->co_firstlineno it should set new_lasti=0, new_lineno=line but the loop still executes once which increments new_lasti and new_lineno to the next line (6, 4). [/quote] And Rocky Bernstein offers the following: [quote] Best as I can tell, it looks like a bug in Python. pdb, pydb, rpdb2 all handle the "jump" command by changing the frame f_lineno value. When the corresponding code pointer has offset 0 (or equivalently and more simlply as you put it, is the first statement) this doesn't seem to work properly.
