It never really helped sort out the path issues when using build
directories. It worked well enough for single directory projects, but
things got messy very quickly, especially when mixing ruamoko libs with
external progs. A better method based on dwarf is coming.
I decided that stopping in between function calls that are on the same
line is a good thing as it gives a chance to skip over the first but
step into the second.
This allows a debugger to do any symbol lookups and other preparations
between loading progs and the first code execution. .ctors are called as
per normal if debug_handler is not set.
While this does answer the question of how I'll go about restarting the
target progs (when I get to that point), it was required just to start
full-on ruamoko progs because .ctor was getting run in the main thread
and blocking due to trace.
In testing variable fw/precision in PR_Sprintf, I got a nasty reminder
of the limitations of the current progs ABI: passing @args to another QC
function does not work because the args list gets trampled but the
called function's locals. Thus, the need for a va_copy. It's not quite
the same as C's as it returns the destination args instead of copying
like memcpy, but it does copy the list from the source args to a
temporary buffer that is freed when the calling function returns.
Putting it in Editor worked as a proof of concept, but it seems those
always turn out to need tweaking like this because the concept proves
itself to be generally worthwhile :P
Leaking memory. And worse, it wasn't drawing its buttons (group wasn't
setting view contexts) and then the buttons were in the wrong place, so
had to add a backing buffer for the buttons.
This puts a print command (to Sys_Printf) into the queue making it
easier to check command sequences since regular printf is asynchronous
with the stream.
It currently dies when single stepping or exiting due to EditBuffer's
retain count not getting incremented when initialized. This is because
EditBuffer is initialized in C and thus does not call Object's -init.
While trying to build a view without deriving from it was a neat idea,
it doesn't work so well because a view really needs to know how to draw
itself. This even fixes the segfault when stepping past the end of the
program.
For now it just manages type encodings via their encoding string,
ensuring types are fetched from the target only once, if at all (may
already have the type due to it being common).
Things were getting rather cluttered with everything being qwaq-* and
all in one directory. Now most have lost the qwaq- prefix and have been
moved into subdirectories (non-recursive make).
When a type is aliased, the alias has two type chains: the simple type
chain with all other aliases stripped, and the full type chain. There
are still plenty of bugs in it, but having the clean type chain takes
care of the major issue that was in the previous attempt as only the
head of the type-chain needs to be skipped for type comparison.
Most of the bugs are in finding the locations where the head needs to be
skipped.
