ptkdb 1.231 - release notes 1. New functionalities - New mode 'autostep' Every one who already worked with a modern source debugger knows the advantages and disadvantages of the automatic stepping through code. The autoset mode begins at any breakpoint entering the menu command 'Control/Autoset'. The next 'stepin' or 'stepover' command get automatically repeated until either the menu command 'Control/autoset' is reentered or an unconditional breakpoint occurs or an other command which requires a stop of the process execution requires, i.e. the evaluation of an input on the quick expression frame. The speed of the stepping may be changed entering the menu command 'Control/set autostep delay time'. The default value (currently 1500 msec) may be set with the option PTKDB_AUTOSTEP_DELAY_TIME. So, there is not much more to talk about it. Simply, give it a try and let me know! 2. Enhancements - log page on the Notebook pane. - log output on STDOUT or STDERR. - size of expression's ballon now 256 by default. - suppress trace of watched expressions. - proximity window, enhanced parser. 3. New options A handful of new options allows to turn on/off optional funtionalities which are sometimes pointless. - PTKDB_TRACE_EXPRESSIONS - PTKDB_VERBOSE - PTKDB_USE_LOG_PAGE Other new options has been introduced to make the behaviour of some functionalities more suitable for the current task. - PTKDB_LOG_INTO_STDERR - PTKDB_AUTOSTEP_DELAY_TIME - PTKDB_BALLOON_MSG_MAX_LENGTH See POD section for their description. 4. New menu items Control - Set autostep delay time Control - Autostep (Checkbutton on the toolbar) Data - Trace expressions See POD section for their description. 5. Fixes - subroutine 'name' on package 'main' doesn't lead to side-effects anymore. 6. Compatibility Full.
