[Ironruby-core] debugging IR

Hi all,

I''ve been following IR since pre-alpha and have enjoyed being able to
play with .NET within Ruby. Since the beginning, the one thing that
I''ve been most looking forward to has been debugging. I''ve
seen that
some debugging might already be in the current SVN rev (a blog post by
John & I think revision notes too). Is this true? If so, how can I
debug ruby code? I''m using VS 2008.

Thanks for any help,
Noon

Debugging support works today in Silverlight as long as you have the Silverlight
tools for VS installed. It should just work on desktop CLR as well.

Now ''just work'' means that our source spans aren''t
defined precisely which means that stepping over individual statements and in
conditionals is, um, weird. But it does hit breakpoints and show locals and the
call stack correctly, but I wouldn''t really use it for real until we
fix how we generate sequence points.

Thanks,
-John

"It should just work" means you open IronRuby.sln, the Ruby source
file you want to debug, place a breakpoint and run Ruby.Console project with the
source file path on the command line.

[Ironruby-core] debugging IR

I have been embedding IronRuby to our WPF C# application, so I am not
starting rbx but rather doing calls like:

MyEngine.CreateScriptSourceFromFile("MyRuby.rb").Execute(MyScope); 

Any hope for me to get to use the nice new debugging goodies? :-) I did
install the silverlight VS extension, included MyRuby.rb to my C#
project and placed breakpoint there, but that did not seem to be enough
to have execution stopping there :-(

[Ironruby-core] debugging IR

You have to explicitly tell the DLR to generate "debuggable" code.

ScriptRuntime env = ScriptRuntime.Create(setup);
env.GlobalOptions.DebugMode = true;
ScriptEngine MyEngine = env.GetEngineByFileExtension("rb");
// ...
MyEngine.CreateScriptSourceFromFile("MyRuby.rb").Execute(MyScope);

This is working fine, thanks!
 
Weird spans and conditionals are a minor issue compared to the pain of
no debugging at all :-)

Ah yes- I think this is Tomas'' fault due to his latest change in local
scopes that are part of the work required to get eval and friends working.
I''ll let him defend himself here :)

Thanks,

No defense available :) More changes coming soon.

[Ironruby-core] debugging IR

I return to this debugging issue briefly since in the recent IronRuby
SVN versions the variable viewing support has been on decline.

Now that was the situation with the IronRuby SVN current version of
2008-04-02 (can''t remember the number).

Things have been taking a slight step backwards with the recent SVN
versions (at least already in v. 96). Now it seems that $frame->Scope is
always null, so I cannot dig the locals from there (nor are they yet
available as top-level symbols either) :-(

I understand debugging is not a priority of the IR team, but I wonder if
it would be a quick fix to restore the locals to be visible in *some*
way, direct or indirect? Or alternatively tell me how to dig them up
with the v. 99?
