All-in-one PR updating the debugger plugin. Even if it's a large PR in itself, it is properly split: each commit (should be) relevant on its own, and there are merges from internal feature branches in the way that create bigger steps.
Highlights: * Very noticeable speedup showing a large stack trace (fixes #347). With enormous stack traces building the list went from >100s to <0.3s (297be8d, and additional less relevant ones). It's still actually slower than that, but apparently it's GDB who's taking like 10s to pass in the whole list. Anyway, it's far more usable now. * Add basic thread switching support (44c8d36, ca9abb6). * Fix handling of files with escape sequences in their name, like `foo "bar` or `foo\bar` (part of #83) (d21c653). * Fix displaying the current instruction marker when there is another frame at the same location (186d3fa). * Report the signal name and meaning when the debugged process stops because of a signal (dc049f4). * Fixes various not-too-likely crasher bugs (1321161, df08535, a52777f). * Plugs a few memory leaks. * Small code cleanups.
PS: no, I'm still not the real maintainer of this orphaned plugin, but I started looking at it because of #347 and went down trying stuff and fixing others on the way. You can view, comment on, or merge this pull request online at:
