0001 0002 Near term: 0003 0004 - Implemment handling of debugger exit in GDB class 0005 0006 - Implement locals. 0007 0008 - Revive breakpoint tracing. 0009 0010 KDEV4 Debugger overall: 0011 0012 - Launch framework 0013 0014 - On fly launch types -- "dbus call to connect to a given app" 0015 0016 - Advanced data visualization 0017 0018 - Customizable by the user 0019 0020 - Assembler display that's good 0021 0022 - Hex display that's good 0023 0024 - Register display that is good. 0025 0026 - Debugger scripts? Remembering and replaying a set of 0027 commands? 0028 0029 - Debugger as a visualizer tool? 0030 0031 0032 TODO: 0033 0034 - P1: 0035 0036 - Breakpoints duplicated on editing. 0037 0038 - Global radix 0039 0040 - Hiding of static members. 0041 0042 - No horizontal scrollbar in the variables widget. 0043 0044 - Debugging optimized binaries 0045 0046 - Debugged application sometimes not killed. 0047 0048 - Fix moving breakpoints on editing files 0049 0050 - Pressing tab in memory range dialog modified the edited file. 0051 0052 - Testing stepping into code for which gdb can't find the file or fullname. 0053 Test stepping (or stepi) into undebuggable code. 0054 0055 - Test files without debug info 0056 0057 - Reconsider fixed font in variable widget 0058 0059 - Investigate 'stop on shlib load breaking next" on Dario's project. 0060 0061 - Incoming bug reports: 0062 0063 - Fix remote target dialog, which is confusing and requires 0064 to specify tree scripts! 0065 0066 - Big projects 0067 0068 - Add support for other special types (STL) 0069 0070 - Breakpoints 0071 0072 - Add shortcuts to context menu. 0073 0074 - Add icons 0075 0076 - Status display column is just ugly 0077 0078 - Handle "out of breakpoints" message. 0079 0080 - Implement gdb -> KDevelop breakpoint addition for all existing 0081 breakpoint types. 0082 0083 0084 0085 - For function breakpoints, the 'file' property of breakpoint from 0086 gdb is not a fullname (gdb 6.4), so we don't find the file. 0087 0088 - For function breakpoints with gdb CVS, clicking on marker corresponding 0089 to function breakpoint does not clear it, but adds a new one. 0090 0091 - "Immediately leave function" breakpoint type. 0092 0093 0094 - Watchpoints redux: 0095 0096 - Fix status display for watchpoints 0097 0098 - Test loading of read watchpoints from session file. 0099 0100 - Change "toggle watchpoint" into checkbox. 0101 0102 - "Read watchpoint triggered" message disappears too soon. 0103 0104 0105 - Fix up the mess with relative vs. full names of files for breakpoints. 0106 0107 0108 UI cleanup: 0109 0110 - The dialog box on watchpoint hit draws slowly initially. 0111 0112 - Cntrl-Enter for "add watch". 0113 0114 - Close all opened thread when opening other? 0115 0116 - The dialog box shown in MI errors is ugly. Often, it contains names 0117 of internal gdb functions, or no interest to outsiders. 0118 0119 - Should strip formatting when copying from gdb output window. 0120 0121 Console command interaction: 0122 0123 - Handle "Program exited" messages from CLI "continue". 0124 0125 0126 Code cleanup: 0127 0128 - Rename FileLine to Code. 0129 0130 - Kill raw char* manipulation. 0131 0132 - Fix hardcoded color in framestack widget 0133 0134 - Kill 'trimmableItem'. 0135 0136 Minor tweaks: 0137 0138 - Need some "scope" for error reporting. Say, we can try to set invalid 0139 breakpoint condition from session file, on debugger startup. Need to 0140 produce message like: 0141 "Error detected when setting condition for breakpoint 1", 0142 not a pretty opaque error we get now. 0143 0144 - Highlight type changes in variable widget 0145 0146 - Highlight composite types changes? 0147 0148 - Test that modifying breakpoint while application is running works. 0149 0150 - If remembered expression includes dereferences pointer as a child, 0151 that child is still updated as we step. 0152 0153 - Error in 'finish' command (e.g. on the outer frame) hides the 0154 current line indicator. 0155 0156 - Should disable the 'finish' command on the outer frame. 0157 0158 Optimizations: 0159 0160 - If we're in some function and looked at frame 0 and frame 1, and 0161 then run "finish", we need to reuse VarFrameRoot for previous frame 0162 1, which now became frame 0, no need to recreate it. Generally, need 0163 to preserve open/closed state of all variables for all scopes. 0164 0165 0166 0167 0168 0169 0170 BUGS/ISSUES found: 0171 0172 - "set edit off" breaks MI 0173 - no stop reason for stop on shared library load 0174 - using "interpreter mi -whatever" when already in MI 0175 mode causes gdb to output two "^done" messages and 0176 it confuses us. 0177 - No support for "character" format in -data-evaluate-expression 0178 or -var-set-format 0179 - Some of the -stack* command operate on current frame unless one is 0180 specified, but -stack-list-arguments will print all frames. 0181 0182 - Output of -thread-list-ids uses the following syntax 0183 0184 {thread-id="1",thread-id="2"} 0185 0186 which is neither tuple nor list. 0187 0188 - Pending breakpoits broken in MI. 0189 0190 0191 - Varobj broken: 0192 0193 - When entering new scope, we need to issue -stack-list-locals 0194 to get names of new variables in that scope. 0195 0196 - When stopping inside undebuggable code (say, on watchpoint hit), 0197 -file-list-exec-source-file reports the last valid source file. 0198 0199 - It's not possible to find if inferiour is running or not.
