[Ironpython-users] IronPython running WDB client

[Markus Schaber]

Hi,

As far as I know, the IronPython dynamic code generation does not generate Python frames by default, for optimization purposes (to leverage the .NET Just in Time compiler).

When the IronPython compiler parses your main module, sys.settrace() was not called yet, so the code generated there will work the optimized way.

IronPython has the options -X:Frames and -X:FullFrames which you can set either on the command line, or (in hosted environments) when you create the executor instance, then sys.settrace() should work for the top level frame, too.


Best regards

Betreff: [Ironpython-users] IronPython running WDB client

Hi,
https://github.com/Kozea/wdb is a slick remote debugger with web interface which I've been eyeing for quite some time, and I think I'm not the only one to whom this would be useful :)

Recently I've been able to run the client part of it in IronPython 2.7.6a0 with minor modifications (https://github.com/kerray/wdb/commit/72019a080df8252c663e8e630d4fd104976ceff8). The server part runs in CPython and for my purposes, this doesn't matter as far as the code I'm debugging is IronPython.

There's a problem however that while I can now walk through IronPython source in a browser window, WDB ignores the code in baseline module, and only steps into the code when the module is executing a function. It steps through the function, I can inspect variables etc, but when that function ends, it doesn't step back into the module.

I've been asking and posting logs in WDB https://github.com/Kozea/wdb/issues/51/ however it seems to be more of a IronPython matter.

So please, any ideas? For example, does IronPython have the correct info in frame.f_lineno?

Thanks for anything


Jaromír "Kerray" Matýšek
