+About +----- +Plugin enables debuggers support in Geany. +Aiming on support for various debuggers, for now only +GDB is supported. + +Usage +----- +Plugin adds a tab to the lower panel that acts in a similar fashion +like debugger panels found in other IDEs. +In the "Target" tab you can set up a target executable, command-line arguments and +environment variables as well. +Breakpoints tab offers changing existing breakpoints properties (hit count, condition) +enabling/disabling and removing breakpoints. +Adding new breakpoins however can be accomplished by clicking document left margin +as in other IDEs. +New watch expressions can be added by dragging a variable or an expression from the editor +or by clicking the last line in the watch table. +Target data, breakpoints ans watch expressions can be saved and later loaded using buttons +on the Target tab. +Saving settings creates hidden ".debugger" file in the current directory that contains all information mentioned above. +In order to load your settings navigate to a file from the same folder and press "Load" button from the "Target" tab. +Other tabs (Locals, Call Stack, Terminal amd Debugger Messages) act like they are supposed to. + +Known issues +------------ + * watch expressions that produce long output (containing "..." signs) cause plugin to crash because of parsing error + * debugger terminal sometimes stops to show any data while real interaction seems to work + +License +------- +Debugger plugin is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License +as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the +License, or (at your option) any later version. A copy of this license +can be found in the file COPYING included with the source code of this +program. + + +Contact me +----------------------------------------- +Alexander Petukhov devel@apetukhov.ru +
