7. Bdb The ``Bigloo Debugger'' Nov 1999 -- Using BDB under Emacs |
|
A special interface allows you to use Emacs to view (and edit)
the source files for the program you are debugging with BDB. To use this interface, use the command M-x bdb in Emacs or click the
Bdb icon of the Bee tool bar
Give the executable file you want to debug as an argument. This command
starts BDB as a subprocess of Emacs, with input and output through a
newly created Emacs buffer.Breakpoints may be set by the means of mouse clicks. Once a buffer is connected to the debugger (connection is automatic when the execution thread stops inside a buffer, or connection may be explicitly requested with the Connect icon), a left margin is printed. Clicking
button-3 on the margin will pop up a menu that enables
breakpoint settings.Breakpoints may be disabled or deleted by the means of mouse menu. Click button-2 on a breakpoint icon. The M-x bdb provides facilities for displaying all kinds of information
such as stack frames, automatic display, source code browsing, stepping, etc. |
