[Mono-dev] Mono Soft Debugger

2011-04-25 Thread Revan
I'm not sure whether this is a mono or monodevelop issue, sorry if the mail is mislocated. I'm working on a Windows project that uses both C++ and C#. It uses C++ as the entry point and C# as a scripting engine. For C# dll files, the project uses mono. The project is working well so far but

I am beginning to realize that the project of making a new debugger is sort of meaningless. It turns out, now that I have studied MonoDevelop a bit more and done some searches on the Internet, that MonoDevelop already supports debugging stand-alone executables. And that's precisely what I am

I just have a single, minor issue that I don't seem capable of solving: When I open an application using the Debug/Debug Application menu item, it opens the application, runs it immediately and therefore does not allow me to set breakpoints and single-step the program.  I have tried opening a

That's precisely what I have done over and over again (one more time after receiving this email). I use File/Open to open an executable that uses a statically linked assembly and a bunch of dynamically loaded assemblies. Then I set up a breakpoint right at the beginning of Main(). Then I hit

Hi, Anybody knows of good documentation for the Mono Soft Debugger? I am hacking away on a hobby project that is a console mode debugger, but only have the Mono and MonoDevelop sources to guide me. The documentation in Monodoc seems to very incomplete, which is understandable given the low

Hi, Our documentation is really quite incomplete, sorry about that. The debugger is modelled after the Java Debug Architecture: http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/toolsapis/jpda/ http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/toolsapis/jpda/I.e. the Mono.Debugger.Soft api is based on,

i had a similar project in mind but haven't had time to start it yet : port the jdb debugger to mono. since the soft debugger is based on jpda et al, the jdb console java debugger should be pretty easy to port, right? the code is freely available. mikael, have you considered doing this? ben
