The 07 January 2012 build (7678) DEBUGGER BRANCH version is out.

[oBFusCATed]

renega_666: Thanks for the report, I've added it to my todo and I'll see what is wrong with it later today (hopefully).

I found two minor issues:
if I add the same variable twice, it's also shown twice in the watches list.
The expected behaviour would be to select it in the watches window, or just do nothing.

And dragging a variable into the watches window without pressing control deletes it in the editor.
If I remember correctly this was fxed some time ago, but I'm not sure absolutely about that.
I can look into the second issue this evening.

Are you sure this is needed? I'm not, because sometimes you may want to have to watches with different options.

No, it has never been fixed, last time I've reported this, you said it was working correctly for you.
I'll be happy if you're able to fix it.

Indeed. For example, if you watch array (matrices) or vectors. Often you want to see only a certain elements / rows / columns. I do this regularly.

[oBFusCATed]

Can someone running windows and non-python enabled gdb confirm the parser problems reported by renega_666?
I've tried to reproduce the problem with the latest version of the branch and it works as expected.

Agreed !

Fixed in svn r7718 .

Hi!

Some news about the issue I reported two days ago:

1. I now have tested and reproduced the bug on my house computers (win7 32bits and 64 bits). The parser error is still here.
2. I've also tried to remove my configuration files from app data and start with a clean default config but unfortunately the bug still appears. (tried on win7 32/64 and winXp 32)
3. Then, I've followed ollydbg instructions to enable gdb python and the parser error still occurs (I've used the ollydbg build and followed the setup instructions on the wiki page) (only tried on win7 32bits)

Is there anything else I could try?

Btw I 'm still not able to view the debugger's debug log (the check box is checked but the log window doesn't appear, it does in the previous nightly).

Btw I 'm still not able to view the debugger's debug log (the check box is checked but the log window doesn't appear, it does in the previous nightly).

The debug log was removed, because many users had trouble finding it.
Now the debug log messages are printed in the normal log, but they have the prefix [debug].

I'll change the naming of the option, so it is less confusing.

[oBFusCATed]

Can I ask someone on windows to test the renega_666 examples and confirm, that there is a bug?

Windows XP here, debugger branch, even path with spaces - the bug does not occur.
Maybe it is a modified debugger script?

[oBFusCATed]

Morten: Can you disable the 'watch scripts' and try again? Also make sure you have no python-enabled-gdb.

renega_666: Can you post the full build log and can you try the previous nightly, to verify it is still working?

[renega_666]

Tested with the sample code provided in my firts post.

Results with r7550

- the bug doesn't occur

I've diffed the logs and there is not big differences in them.

The only suspicious thing in them is this:

I guess you've put this source commands in the initial commands.
Can you remove them and try again? Why are they different in the two versions?

[renega_666]

Do you speak about stl-views-1.0.3.gdb ? or  C:\MinGW32\bin\stl.gdb?

I think I didn't do anything about the first source command, the second one is the one I added when following the ollydbg instructions to enable python gdb.

Here is a screenshot of my debugger settings: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/407/capturejnl.png/

Please tell me the name of the files/commands you want I to remove, I'm a little lost here...
