[Mono-dev] Soft debugger HOWTO
Hi, After the announcement last week of the new soft debugger, I have several questions: - I understand MD is the primary interface *right now* for the soft debugger, is it possible to debug a Linux app too? - Is there any other available interface to use the soft debugger besides MD? - As Miguel pointed to me last week, the new softdeb will allow debuggin gon any platform, I don't know if anyone experienced it yet (I'll definitely give it a try asap), if so, any feedback? I know it's still a little bit too soon, but once the softdeb gets some good visibility, I honestly trust we're about to see a huge change in the way Mono is used. pablo ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list

You mean a native app? No. You mean a mono app on linux? Yes, on x86 and amd64 and arm currently. - Is there any other available interface to use the soft debugger besides MD? You can create any interface you like on top of the Mono.Debugger.Soft.dll, MonoDevelop is the interface we support. - As Miguel pointed to me last week, the new softdeb will allow debuggin gon any platform, I don't know if anyone experienced it yet (I'll definitely give it a try asap), if so, any feedback? We currently have it ported to: - linux (x86, amd64, arm, arm-full-aot) - darwin (x86, arm, arm-full-aot) The point miguel was making is that porting to new architectures is a minor (1 day) task in most cases. For example, Jonathan Chambers has it mostly ported to win32 already -g ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list

Hi Geoff, - I understand MD is the primary interface *right now* for the soft debugger, is it possible to debug a Linux app too? You mean a native app? No. You mean a mono app on linux? Yes, on x86 and amd64 and arm currently. I'm only concerned 99.99% of the time about managed code. So that's what I need. - Is there any other available interface to use the soft debugger besides MD? You can create any interface you like on top of the Mono.Debugger.Soft.dll, MonoDevelop is the interface we support. Will it make sense to have some sort of command line interface? Maybe not, MD will always be better... - As Miguel pointed to me last week, the new softdeb will allow debuggin gon any platform, I don't know if anyone experienced it yet (I'll definitely give it a try asap), if so, any feedback?

Our suggested and supported interface is going to be MonoDevelop -g ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
