NAME

Devel::ebug::Wx - GUI interface for your (d)ebugging needs

SYNOPSIS

# it's easier to use the 'ebug_wx' script
my $app = Wx::SimpleApp->new;
my $wx = Devel::ebug::Wx->new( { argv => \@ARGV } );
$wx->Show;
$app->MainLoop;

DESCRIPTION

Devel::ebug::Wx is a GUI front end to Devel::ebug.

The core is a publisher/subscriber wrapper around Devel::ebug (Devel::ebug::Wx::Publisher) plus a plugin system for defining menu commands and keyboard bindings (Devel::ebug::Wx::Command::*) and views (Devel::ebug::Wx::View::*).

The wxWidgets Advanced User Interface is used, so it is possible to dock/undock and arrange views.

TODO

  • make a saner interface for plugins

    what do commands do, views have gui state that needs saving, global state of the debugger gui

  • define a service interface

    for example for code-viewing, configuration, gui management, view management

  • add more views (variable watch, data structure display)

  • save GUI state between sessions

    optionally save the whole debugger state, state is distributed among plugins

  • handle the cases when the debugged program is terminated

  • break on subroutine, undo, watchpoints

  • show pad, show package variables, show packages

  • see the FIXMEs
