[Objectscript-users] command line debugger

[Lysander D. <sa...@sb...>]

Hi Rob,

I have made some modifications to the previous dbg.os
you previously posted. Here is the help
for it:

objectsript command line debugger help

continue - continue execution ( synonym "c" )
step - single step ( synonym "s" )
next - Next, steps over subs ( synonym "n" )
where - stack trace ( synonym "T" )
up - change context to higher stack frame ( synonym
"u" )
down - change context to lower stack frame ( synonym
"d" )
list [file][:[line][:length]] - list the [file] at
[line] with [length] number of lines
b [[file][:line]] - set a breakpoint. If [file] is not
specified, a breakpoint is set at the curent debug
stack frame
b list - list breakpoints
d index - delete breakpoint at specified breakpoint
index
help - this message ( synonym "h" )
exit - exit debugging session ( synonym "x", "quit",
"q") 


Aside from the os file, some changes in
Debugger.java were necessary in order to get
the "next" command to work ( see included patch
"debugger.pat" ).

I realize that a lot of it is kind of hacky but
hopfully you can indicate what changes should be
made so that it can eventually be included as a part
of
the objectscritpt distribution.

( Two things I can think of offhand are
  1. add a command line flag to add a step
     breakpoint so that it will not
     be necessary to modify os code to get the
     first breakpoint
  2. add a return command to continue until
     the current function returns.
)

By the way, is an emacs mode for javascript available
?

Thanks,
Lysander
