Cannot see variables in debugger.

drbop wrote on Mon Jun  4 03:26:51 MEST 2007:

Hi,

I'm running:
 Eclipse 3.1.2
 Epic Source Plug-in 0.5.37
 Perl Debug Plug-in 0.5.27
 PadWalker 1.5
 Perl v5.8.7

on Linux 2.6.15

The debugger seems to be running OK, in that I can start and single step
thru my program.  However I cannot see any variables in the debugger.

All variables in the program are declared with "my".  I also added "use
PadWalker;" in my program, for lack of a better idea.

Any help grovelling appreciated.

You don't have to "use PadWalker". I suggest that you upgrade to 0.6.6 first,
as it generally contains an improved version of the debugger. If it still
doesn't work, enable the debugger console and paste its output here (read
previous postings about the debugger console to get an idea).

Hi,

I upgraded as Jan suggested, I now have the newest versions, but still have
debugger errors.
 
I'm running: 
Eclipse 3.2.2 
Epic Source Plug-in 0.6.6
Perl Debug Plug-in 0.6.6
PadWalker 1.5 
Perl v5.8.7 
 
on Linux 2.6.15  

Trying to run the debugger yields:

Can you post 20 lines above and below line 5483 from /home/cariello/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/perl5db.pl?

This problem is fixed in 0.6.7 (just out).

Hi,
i've got the same Problem. Variable inspection is also not working.

jploski wrote on Thu Jun  7 21:58:04 MEST 2007:

Same request as for drbop: post 20 lines above and below the line with "use
epic_breakpoints" from /home/cariello/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/perl5db.pl

Hey Jan,

Here's the sub with the line which causes the issue.  Line 5483 is marked
with =====>

Thanks for any and all help,
DrBop



sub postponed {

    # If there's a break, process it.
    if ($ImmediateStop) {

        # Right, we've stopped. Turn it off.
        $ImmediateStop = 0;

        # Enter the command loop when DB::DB gets called.
        $signal = 1;
    }

    # If this is a subroutine, let postponed_sub() deal with it.
    return &postponed_sub unless ref \$_[0] eq 'GLOB';

    # Not a subroutine. Deal with the file.
    local *dbline = shift;
    my $filename = $dbline;
    $filename =~ s/^_    \{ use epic_breakpoints; my \$osingle = \$single; \$single = 0;
\$single = epic_breakpoints::_postponed(\$filename, \$line) || \$osingle;
}
return unless $postponed_file{$filename};

    # Yes. Mark this file as having breakpoints.
    $had_breakpoints{$filename} |= 1;

    # "Cannot be done: unsufficient magic" - we can't just put the
    # breakpoints saved in %postponed_file into %dbline by assigning
    # the whole hash; we have to do it one item at a time for the
    # breakpoints to be set properly.
    #%dbline = %{$postponed_file{$filename}};

    # Set the breakpoints, one at a time.
    my $key;

    for $key ( keys %{ $postponed_file{$filename} } ) {

        # Stash the saved breakpoint into the current file's magic line
array.
        $dbline{$key} = ${ $postponed_file{$filename} }{$key};
    }

    # This file's been compiled; discard the stored breakpoints.
    delete $postponed_file{$filename};

} ## end sub postponed

The backslashes in line 5483 are all wrong (they are not present on my machine)...
Which version of Java do you use (can be seen in Eclipse's Help/About Eclipse
SDK/Configuration dialog)?
