Debugger Improvements

Post by Dreglor »

I would like to suggest some debugger improvements for the next major release.
First off, better debugging of threads like selecting what thread to watch in terms of execution, with stepping and other debugging functions. along with reporting the thread id when an error occurs in a thread. This would be greatly improve threaded debugging.

Secondly, a minor improvement to how the library viewer views handles of each library by adding a column showing which line the handle was created on. this can be particularly useful when trying to match handles to offending code especially when you have a large number of handles.

I would also like to see the built in IDE debugger show a expanded macro when stepping through a macro.
As well to peek at what pointed structures hold in the standalone debugger

Also just to clear the air about "but you can do this already..." statements about the above improvement I would like to say these are a matter of improving the debugger to speed up the tracking and solving of bugs not weather one can already do such and such with macros and some code.
