# Debugger

After some tryouts it ended up being an Opal application. That is ruby as javascript in the browser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- On the left are the classes of the system. Next idea is to have hover info about them.
|
|
|
|
|
- Next a source code view (not implemented)
|
|
|
|
|
- next a view of the Virtual Instructions
|
|
|
|
|
- last section, current block with current Register Instruction highlighted
|
|
|
|
|
- step (next) button for single stepping
|
|
|
|
|
- status: starting , running , exited
|
|
|
|
|
- bottom row are the registers. If the register hold an object the variables are shown.
|
|
|
|
|
(also should have hover info) , the first letter indicates the class, the number is the address
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So lots to do, but a good start.

I don't want to use gdb anymore, and it would be easier without using the qemu setup, so:
|
2015-07-06 13:28:24 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- single step debugging of the register machine level (as close to arm as need be)
|
|
|
|
|
- visual transitions for steps
|
|
|
|
|
- visualisation of data in registers (some kind of link to the object)
|
|
|
|
|
- show the current instruction and a few around
|
|
|
|
|
- show vm object (message etc)
|
|
|
|
|
- show effect of register transitions on vm objects
|
|
|
|
|
- visualize vm object content (again some links)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

# Space
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Visualise the object space in some way
|
|
|
|
|
- Visualise single object, bit like atoms
|
|
|
|
|
- values immediate
|
|
|
|
|
- objects as link
|
