Woohoo!

ovale · 18 June 2018, 22:37

Great!

lantus360 · 19 June 2018, 23:49

been using it today with stepping. it seems to work well !

for those using WinUAE just remember to enable bsdsocket.library otherwise you will HALT (obvious i know but took me ages to figure out why my debug server wouldn't start

Awesome!! Stefan I just sent you a (small, sorry) PayPal donation for your work on gdb. Hopefully you can buy yourself a nice beer or something.

Cheers!

bgdbinit seems to be working under aros 68k, perhaps it can be useful. im just not sure how to approach m68k-amigaos-gdb.
lets assume ill build it within my vm linux environment im building software with, i will not be able to access winuae with it. on the other hand to use it under windows one would have a windows or at least cygwin version. is there a solution for that?

perhaps i might try to access fs-uae, im running within linux vm while initially testing, not sure what port.

Great!

A small step for me, a giant leap for Amiga fellows:

Today it worked for the first time to remotely debug an Amiga application from Eclipse.

See attached screenshot.

Nice work. Works from terminal for me. I am trying to make Clion work with it. Stepping works (F8), it can't understand the variables though. (No variables in context)

Code:

inf arg
inf loc

are both working. Are you using bgdbserver 0.2?

alkis · 02 July 2018, 23:49

Everything works from terminal. I can see variables and all.

It must be some idiosyncrasy of Clion.
(Btw, I was using bgdbserver 0.1, switched to 0.2 still the same issue on clion. )

And the angels sang with joy...

Very exciting! How anybody can develop in C without a decent debugger is unbelievable.

Me: "Boss, can we not just *buy* a debugger vs writing our own dev tools for each new platform?"
Boss: "Sure, if you buy it with your own money and use it in your own time. I don't pay you to write bugs."

back-on-topic: awesome work bebbo :)

How about gprof?
Aprof is good but doesn't work with bigger applications.

Great work!

I always had to debug my code with print statements....it was so painful

A memory bug in ScummVM took me weeks to track down!

jotd · 15 August 2018, 09:44

more generally great work creating a cross compiler suite which doesn't require this crap cygwin.

Hello!!
Im using GCC from Bebbo and works really good but I have problems with GDB in windows 10.
Each time I try it I have the next error : ‘The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)'
Im using a compiled version from https://github.com/SteveMoody73/amiga-gcc/releases
Any idea?
Im really happy with Bebbo's work anyway!
