I guess the arguments are still in registers while stepping through C code. Mago might not support that too well.

We cannot support C/C++ completely, not sure where to draw the line. It would be best to have some mixed mode with the C++ part handled by the VS debugger, but I'm not aware of that being possible (the C#/C++ mixed mode debugger is just another engine).

--- Comment #2 from Manu <turkeyman@gmail.com> ---
Yeah, I don't know that mixed mode with different debuggers is possible.

I suspect, sadly, it's just going to be a long and slow process of making Mago support relevant C/C++ cases as they arise, such that in the end, it becomes a useful mixed-mode debugger of it's own.

For me personally, I probably use a rather small subset of C/C++ debugger features. I barely use templates or modern language features in C++, and that's probably the majority of the complexity.


What do you know about LLDB? If Clang can output COFF and CV8/PDB, does that
mean LLDB can read those formats?
Do you foresee a time where we may be able to create a Visual Studio shim for
LLDB?

Some basic features like variable lifetime/register support should help D too, though dmd doesn't output that info yet. So C style code might be workable.

I guess COFF/CV8 support for clang is meant to integrate clang into the VS world, not to support it in lldb. At last years CppCon, I met a few people from Google that were assigned to improve Clang's Windows experience including full debug support.

The lexical scope support in mago might help here. Try it in Visual D 0.3.41.

Mago treats "->" as "." now. With the new Concord integration C/C++ and D should no longer interfere, so work on supporting C in mago is futile.
