- DONE BY MYKES
-
- * Fixed 1-plane workbench support
- * Fixed dcc:config/dbug.prefs. Now, you type saveprefs at the
- command line, and the prefs for that window are saved. I want
- DBug to open its windows in the center of my SHR workbench...
- * Fixed the hang bug when last window is killed. You called
- CheckCloseDisplay() then did a WaitPort() on the killed
- window.
- * Merged the DBugDisp (display.h) file into defs.h.
- * Added general purpose list routines. With these routines,
- you can easily generate an arbitrarily long list of text
- lines with a printf-like routine. Each list node has the
- ln_Type field set to a unique value that can be "switch"ed
- on in the mousebutton code.
- * Using the new list routines, I implemented several DOS and
- ExecBase structure dump commands. Those that need to evaluate
- parameters DON'T as of yet - PROCESS uses ExecBase->ThisTask.
- * Enhanced the help display - alphabetical order now, and added
- notes.
- * Got rid of hx68 assembly source and switched to a68K. The _asm.asm
- files are now just .asm.
-
- TODO
-
- * The list routines don't do UP/DOWN yet.
- * The help feature should be implemented using the list routines.
- * The help feature should be MUCH MUCH MUCH more informative. Spend
- the time needed to make HELP really awesome, in plain english,
- and interactive.
- * Windows should be iconifiable.
- * ARexx desparately needs to be added. Any startup script that
- DBug executes should be written in ARexx and not some custom
- home-brewed non-standard scripting language. One ascii config
- file is acceptable for those who don't have ARexx (1.3).
- * All windows should update every time I step. If I have one
- window showing a hex dump of memory somewhere, I want to see
- it change dynamically as I step!
- * Hex mode also needs to have the ESC key implemented. When
- you hit ESC, the cursor jumps from command line to the
- hex dump and lets you edit values there. You should be
- able to click with the mouse to move the cursor in this
- mode.
- * AddMenu command needed so I can make custom menus. These
- can be executed en-mass...
- * OBEY command needs to be implemented. Executes commands
- from a "batch" file.
- * Step should optionally print registers to STDOUT window.
- As you step, you get a history-like display of your
- registers. It can be turned ON/OFF with a toggle.
- * EnhanceDism() routine needs to be merged into DBug
- from MykesBug - it knows about A6, A4, etc., and
- makes disassembly smarter. This is also a great place
- to hook into for annotations.
- * l? w? and b? commands need to be implemented. Display
- long, word, or byte at expression - in hex, decimal,
- and ascii. The value is displayed in the STATUS line.
- Good for looking at byte-wide hardware, or just seeing
- the contents of a variable quickly.
- * In general, up/down scrolling needs to be implemented.
- Pageup/Pagedown, too!
- * TITLE command should allow me to set the DBug windows'
- titles to unique values. OPEN should open a window
- with the title "Copy of previous-window".
- * NEXTWINDOW command should bring the next window in
- the display list to the front and activate it. There
- should be a prev-window, also.
- * It would be nice if DICEHELP worked from inside of
- DBug... :)
- * More source oriented features. How about GREP, search,
- cut/paste/clipboard, find-function, find-variable,
- and so on.
- * Function keys should be bindable. Also, shifted
- FKeys would be nice to display at the bottom, too.
- * Structure dump support for intuition and graphics
- library structs. These are going to make the
- program BIG :)
- * Debugger should have ability to catch tasks added
- by the program being debugged (or its children tree).
- * The CurDisplay global variable should be eliminated.
- If we have some routines that use it and others that
- get passed pointer to it, then the routines are
- less general and can confuse the display. Needed
- especially if you do dynamic updating of windows
- after single step...
- * Remote/serial debugging capability. With and without
- the OS running on the target machine. CBM really needs
- to build in ability to have multiple CPU boards in
- the same Amiga. An A500 on a zorro II board would
- be killer as a testbed - makes the A3000 crash a
- lot less often :)
- * DBug needs to be able to open its own custom screen or
- to run on already open public screens. The screen it
- opens should be public under 2.0...
-
-
- MATTD
- DONE LIST
-
- * Screen redraw doesn't get confused
- * EVAL command added, read access to regs by name D0-D7/A0-A7/PC/SP
- * Indirection added to the expression parser, e.g. eval *4
- * Infinite newline loop in mixed.c fixed, found a maxLines++
- that was supposed to be maxLines--
- * Size910 in DASM.ASM does not chop D2 before branching to DSize
- which uses it as an array index. This was the cause of my
- disassembly crash. NOTE: Fixed in dasm_a68.asm but not dasm.asm
- * DISM did a full refresh when you cursored up or down
-
- * MOST COMMANDS, *Refresh() now takes additional arguments specifying
- the start refresh address (instead of the refresh routine getting
- it from CurDisplay->ds_WindowTop). This allows the cursor up
- and down routines to do piecemeal refresh without having to
- duplicate the refresh code
-
- * MOST COMMANDS, the fullRefresh boolean for the *Refresh() routines
- can now take on three values: -1, 0, or 1. -1 is used by the
- piecemeal refresh routines to prevent the first status line from
- being displayed, amoung other things (refer to mixed.c for an
- example)
-
- * MULTIPLE WINDOWS supported. ALL variables associated with a
- display have been moved into a display structure (see display.h).
-
- Additionally, the low level console/window IO has been rewritten to
- use a single, common message port and the synchronous signal bit.
-
- * ADDED OffsetAddressBuf() to DBUG.C. Works like PrintAddress()
- but loads the result into a buffer instead of outputting to
- the current window.
-
- * MOST COMMANDS, cursor up and down now work. MIXED MODE refresh
- has been almost completely rewritten.
-
- * ScrScroll*() routines now position the cursor to the appropriate
- place. Cursor positioning after ScrScroll*() calls have been
- removed.
-
- * MOUSE ACTION ADDED. CONSOLE IS NOW LOCALLY MAPPED. Hitting the
- mouse button now does extremely useful things, see help for
- more info. Console IO routines have been modified in major
- ways to support this cleanly. For example, CSI sequences must
- bypass the local array map.
-
- * Fixed bug in StepOver(), it was running StepTarget() for reverse
- branches instead of forward branches.
-
- * ScrRowCol() routine was being called with column=0 in
- RefreshPrompt() instead of col=1
-
- * I've made an extra line available near the bottom of the window
- for future use -- e.g. more function key defs or simply keywords
- that you can click on with the mouse.
-
- * For some unknown reason the debugger was not passing the arguments
- to the program being debugged... the initial state of D0 was not
- set to the length of the argument line. Don't know how this
- happenned, I seem to remember it working before. In anycase,
- fixed.
-
- TODO LIST
-
- * When in offsets mode the disassembly output should display in
- label+N form instead of as an absolute address
-
- * SOURCE-ONLY mode does not work yet
-
- * ASYNCHRONOUS ENTRY / SEPARATE TASK. It's OK for an instance of
- the debugger to debug only one task at a time, but we need to
- separate the tasks out -- really make the debugger a separate
- task, and allow asynchronous entry (debug an already running
- task and be able to break into a task running under the debugger
- for which no break points were explicitly set)
-
- Question is... how to do?

- DBug should compare your SP with your SPUpper and SPLower when

- DBug should do something about the case when you GO with no breakpoints,
- and your program goes into infinite loop. We can use Signal Exception
- to deal with ^C (or other system sigbit...).

- Subject: DBug bug report
-
- I found a bug in DBug that needs to be fixed before you send it out.
- When you open two or more windows and quit any one of them, all are
- closed and the program exits. I didn't track down why, because I
- am busy with the docs. Note the late hour :(
