Just doing the preliminary fiddling with in D to try and get some sort of D debugger working but I've hit a few snags.

1) DEBUG_EVENT debugEv; //Causes linking error
2) When debug mode is turned on, either on creation or after creation, the program doesn't appear to activate. It runs fine when it is off.  I first thought, right-o, the program is returning straight away and it needs to be continued.  However a while loop with a ContinueDebugEvent in does not help at all.

What am I doing wrong?

//The test2 program is the simple hello world program with an infinite loop after that.

import win32.winbase;

void main ()
{
  STARTUPINFOA startup;
  startup.cb=startup.sizeof;

  PROCESS_INFORMATION output;

  //CreateProccessA seems to do nothing
  //int result = CreateProcessA (null, "\"C:\\Program
Files\\DIDE\\Projects\\test\\test2.exe\"", null, null, false,
DEBUG_PROCESS | DEBUG_ONLY_THIS_PROCESS, null, null, &startup, &output);
//Causes program to return


  int result = CreateProcessA (null, "\"C:\\Program
Files\\DIDE\\Projects\\test\\test2.exe\"", null, null, false, 0, null,
null, &startup, &output);

  if ( !result )
      printf("Error %d occurred", GetLastError());
       if ( !DebugActiveProcess(output.dwProcessId) ) //If you get rid of
this line the program being debugged will run to completion
      printf("Error %d occurred\n", GetLastError());
  else
      printf("Debug Handle attached...\n");

  //ContinueDebugEvent(output.dwProcessId, output.dwThreadId,
DBG_CONTINUE);


  /*DEBUG_EVENT debugEv;    //Causes linking error

  while ( true )
  {
      WaitForDebugEvent(&debugEv, INFINITE);                  //Do stuff with debugEv
      //ie code is in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/writing_the_debugger_s_main_loop.asp 

           ContinueDebugEvent(output.dwProcessId, output.dwThreadId,
DBG_CONTINUE);
  }*/
}

BTW: Me and Charles are considering setting up a group to write an independent debugger for D, in D, that will plug into DIDE, appearing integrated.

This project will be open to anyone who think they could be of help.

Charles may give further details (and/or is tracing some lead in visual studios).

Gramma correction.

I should add that I only included the dmd include path.  DEBUG_EVENT appears to be in winbase, so I can't see why it doesn't work.

Hmm odd, it seems to work when linking to win32.lib, but NOT win32a.lib , the ansi versions not working for some reason ( even though DEBUG_EVENT seems to be in both ansi.winbase and win32a.lib ) .  Heres the basic shell ( from the original code ) I have so far ( attached. ).  It compiles , not much else.

I'm having trouble getting this to work.  Can you please send your make file or DIDE instructions. Thanks.

Sure his the dideexport ( use import project ).  Also found some old CodeView code thats no longer in the SDK ( attached ) .  Also Im looking over wine I think they have some debugging stuff.  I emailed brad think hes setting up a project on dsource.

Also http://www.magma.ca/~wjr/ has a cool PE Viewer helps visually break up the executable.  I think theres a function liek 'TranslateFunctionAddressToSymbol' that will give us the line & number given the address in the executable, trying to find it.

If your there can you join me in D ICQ?  I'm still having trouble with getting the debugger working.  I've a feeling my win32.lib may be outdated (I don't even know where I got it from as its not part of dmd, at least anymore).

Anyway good job on the debugger so far, its starting to take shape.
