    New Windows based debugger [Aaron Giles] 

    ----------------------------------------

     

    Note: The new debugger is enabled as the default debugger for the next few u

    releases (in a debug build only) to allow feedback, it can be disabled by

    changing the makefile

     

    (description of 1st update)

     

    There are some new behaviors and new ways of doing things you should be

    aware of. By default the debugger no longer "auto hides". This was a remnant

    of the way the old debugger worked that I have gotten rid of. If you want to

    hide all the debugger windows, just close the "main" debug window. It will

    return if you break in the debugger at a future time.

     

    The "main" window has four panes: a register list on the left, a disassembly

    around the current PC at the top, a console output window in the middle, and

    an input line at the bottom. The input line supports full editing features,

    and you can also use up arrow/down arrow to cycle through recently typed

    commands.

     

    Hitting Enter on a blank line in the console is equivalent to single

    stepping once. You can also do that with F11. To run, either use the "go"

    command or hit F12 (or close the "main" window). To run until the next CPU,

    either use the "next" command or hit F6.

     

    You can bring up multiple independent memory and/or disassembly windows by

    using the Debug menu. Each window can look at a different address space on

    any CPU. You can enter any expression (including those using registers from

    the CPU) into the entry line at the top of these windows in order to specify

    which address to begin displaying at.

     

    I've implemented a number of useful commands in the console. Type "help" to

    navigate the extensive online documentation for a number of examples on how

    to use these features. You can do some really cool stuff now with the

    conditional watchpoints and breakpoints.

     

    This is a work-in-progress, but it's pretty good now (IMHO) and stable for

    common debugging operations. Let me know what you like/dislike about it and

    what sorts of features you feel are still lacking.

     

    (description of 2nd update)

     

    F12 now means "run and hide the debugger". I found this was too useful to

    get rid of entirely.

    F5 just means "run", keeping the debugger visible.

     

    Enabling the debugger now forces window mode and prevents you from switching

    to full screen mode.

     

    (description of 3rd update)

     

    * Added step over/step out functionality. F10 or "over" steps over an

    instruction. Shift+F11 or "out" steps out of a subroutine or exception

    handler. Note that this feature relies on the disassembler to produce some

    flags indicating which instructions which need to be stepped over (generally

    CALLs and TRAPs) and which instructions end a step out search (generally

    RETURNs).

    * Modified the 680x0 and MIPS3 disassemblers to support these features.

    * Changed the disassembly view to back up 3 instructions when resetting

    (that is, the current PC should appear on the 4th line instead of the 1st

    line). This is not perfect, but works pretty well overall and should help

    see the previous couple of instructions when, say, a watchpoint is hit.

    * Improved filtering of keypresses so that they don't leak into the game

    when you are typing in the debugger.
