Hello, I'm tomo, Japanese. I can not write English well as everyone does.

I am writing a debugger for D now.
But the sources could not be found in Japan and I had to find the sources at
overseas.
I did everything I can think of a long time, but finally I will post a
question to this newsgroup.

I have finished making an easy debugger for D. It works Breakpoint and
Singlestep.

I wanna make a VariableWatch at next.
But I can not get an address of local variables in the executable file the
dmd compiled and linked.
I think that I need to process on sstAlignSym, but I don't know much.

Please tell me how to get it.

(Sorry that difficult English to read. I will study English!)

Hi tomo,

I have wondered that also.  I think for Microsoft debuggers you would get the type with a few calls to :

SymGetTypeInfo

and then a ReadProccessMemory after you got the size of the type ( PSYMBOL_INFO.Size and PSYMBOL_INFO.Address )

But DigitalMars doesnt seem to use the same constants for types or the same type system.  I;ve never gotten Walter to respond on this maybe you will have more luck!

Thanks for the response. It is interesting to feel a time difference between Japan and your country. I wrote this post at 4:00 AM..

Hmm, I think for my development is getting harder.

I think what I can do  best now is to see a source of debugger that already exists.
But I don't know what I sould see.

So someone please tell me a site or something about a source of debugger.
http://tomo.panicode.com/index.php?Dixe$B!!(BThis is a page about the D Language IDE that I'm developing. It's Japanese but please see the screenshots.
I need the source of debugger for this to watch local variables.

A very interesting venture i must say. But, if i may ask, how to we add d source files into a project? Is the public beta crippled/limited in some way? You have done a wonderfull effort...

Regards.
K.T.

Sorry its version is beta and Dixe can not work yet as you do.
I will make a page of English.

Dixe supports multi language for many countries user.

Try Dr. Mingw , its a codeview debugger : http://jrfonseca.dyndns.org/projects/gnu-win32/software/drmingw/

also the Cygwin source of GDB: http://www.cygwin.com/

Good Luck!
