Maybe it would be easier to check what's being done in qt creator instead of
kdev3... isn't it?

Maybe it would be easier to check what's being done in qt creator instead of \
kdev3... isn't it?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 7:36 \

I've decided to try to make the debugger work for kdevelop 4.0, it would be a<br>
shame if we couldn't provide a working debugger as it's one of the \
strengths<br> of having an IDE.<br>
<br>
In analysing what happened to the debugger after my initial port from kdevelop<br>
3.x, it seems that the major problem was that I had ported it to a pure<br>
model/view implementation, however Volodya preferred it to be based on some<br>
base classes to decrease complexity. This is fine, but it seems the change<br>
was never completed - some parts were rewritten, and some were just commented<br>
out. This left us with a debugger unable to display variables, which is not<br>
very useful. I feel it is too much effort for me to fix all of the problems<br>
with head, especially because I don't understand why some parts were \
seemingly<br> rewritten.<br>
<br>
I've started a branch which aims to provide something that is working, and we<br>
can discuss whether we go back to HEAD if/when someone steps up to fix the<br>
problems with head. I'd even be open to helping with a port away from a \
pure<br> model/view implementation, as long as it is planned well and doesn't \
involve<br> wholesale re-writing of code (without a good reason).<br>
<br>
The major deficiencies of this branch (if it gets to a working state) will<br>
probably be:<br>
1) use of the old breakpoint widget<br>
2) variable tooltip feature missing<br>
which could also be ported over, if the branch is to continue on...<br>
<br>
The branch is in playground.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Hamish.<br>
