A debugger way to view macro lines

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

A debugger way to view macro lines

Post by netmaestro »

If the debugger could show us the substitutions made by macros, we could see any errors we made and why that won't compile. Currently all you can see is the single line containing the macro name.

Also:
If the compiler detects an erroneous line that involved at least one macro in it's generation, the the compiler should show the text of the offending line as part of the error message. That will help considerably in correcting the error.
