[ddbg] Preview of 0.11

[Simen Haugen]

Is it possible to get a prerelease of 0.11? The problem with setting
breakpoints in source files is killing me :)

sure, i'll update the preview release as soon as this bug is fixed.

Great. My project now has about 10.000 debug writefln's :)
Love your work on ddbg. Might take a look at APaGeD later this year (as I'll
use tango for a private project and enki is still phobos only AFAIK)

i hope you'll find more than just the tango support useful ;)

[Simen Haugen]

It works fine now. Thanks again.

What is the exactly problem solved in 0.11?

there are several fixes and changes in the preview and a lot more to
come for 0.11. this particular issue was, that ddbg got confused about
source lines if multiple object files specified to have received source
lines from the same source file. ddbg did a module-local
first-best-match on the source line needed for the breakpoint, but
needed to do a module-global best-match (any line number in the same
file >= the one requested matches, less distance is better).
e.g. module a has code from source line set A, module b from source line
set B, both sets from the same file. you set a breakpoint on a line in
B, ddbg searches all line sets, happens to search A first, finds a
module-local best-match and uses that instead of trying B too, which
would lead to a better match -> your breakpoint sits on the wrong line.

I get an "4invalid UTF-8 sequence" error when stepping over a
LoadLibraryA call.

import std.c.windows.windows;
void main()
{
HANDLE hLib;
hLib = LoadLibraryA("RICHED32.DLL");
FreeLibrary(hLib);
}

hm, it works for me (using dmd 1.023, ddbg 0.10 and 0.11 preview2). but
someone else had such a problem before and i wasn't able to reproduce it
either.
which dmd version do you use? windows version? what console (power
shell, xp cmd)?

DMD 1.023
ddbg 0.11b2
Vista x64 + cmd

I'll try it under XP sp2 later on

ah, ok - i can reproduce it on vista, too. i'll take care of that.

will ddbg 0.11 support debugging of dlls?

It's not implemented yet (and it won't be before December).
Unrelated note: the error message suggests that you're trying to debug
the source file. The "Loading symbols from..." message should state an
exe file.
