Hello Rainer,
At first I want to say that I've ever searched for such a program - and now I found it

I am the main developer of the D-IDE and I would like to integrate your cv2pdb program into the D-IDE releases - Is that OK for you?

Hi,

that's fine with me.

A user will also need to have some microsoft libraries installed (mspdb80.dll) that start and communicate with the pdb-server (mspdbsrv.exe). I'm not sure if it is a problem to also add these to the release.

(I think I could start with speaking German at this point )

Deine Zusage klingt ja gut
Ich habe jetzt das Programm in eine Managed c++ library gepackt, sodass es sich leichter in existierenden Code integrieren laesst;-)
Vielleicht kannst du das Paket ja publishen oder weiterentwickeln...

OK...

I packed the entire cv2pdb code into a managed c++ dll...may you could publish it on the project site;-)

Hi,

I finally got around to merge the projects to avoid code duplication. The managed project and its main.cpp is now in a subdirectory, the other files are just referenced from there.

It's in the subversion repository already, and it will be part of the next release.

Thanks,
Rainer

OK...

but now there is an other question I recently have:

In the D2-compiled program

void main()
{
int a;
a=45;
writeln(a);
}

,the value of "a" gets not displayed as 45 - its a number which is higher than 1 million...and that can't be the true value...so how could I get the real value...or at least the real offset...I mean, if you have more than one local variable, all their offsets are the same...or am I wrong?

[sagitario]

Works for me here, but not if you compile with optimizations (-O). Then dmd removes unnecessary assignments, but retains the debug info.
Multiple local variables are no problem without optimizations, each variable has its own space on the stack, the location being specified by the debug info.

[ABothe]

Yeah!....you're right...I also compiled it with "-g" instead of "-gc" what made it impossible to reach the data


So now I've to thank you again because now D-IDE has a debugger that really works!

Is there a way to separate integer arrays from strings?

string str="Hello"; // This type is displayed as int[]
int[] arr=new int[5]; // ...that's also shown as int[]

[ABothe]

Another question: What is the DObjectView in the DViewHelper library made for?

[sagitario]

Sorry for the delay, I didn't get notified of a response here...

DStringView and DObjectView are functions in dviewhelper.dll, that is loaded as a display addin. With the help of configurations in autoexp.dat, they allow showing correctly terminated strings and the (dynamic) classname of an object.

I guess, this will be a visual-studio functionality only, and not be available in the generic debug engines.

strings show up correctly here. Please note, that depending on the D-version specified on the command line, either "char[]" or "const char[]" is displayed as type "string".
