Watch Window not working in Custom Debugger Plugin

[tsrinivasanece]

Hi,
Codeblocks recently changed the debugger plugin for Memory range watches & renamed function name from DbgCmd_UpdateWatchesTree to DbgCmd_UpdateWindow.

We trying to port these watch related changes to our custom debugger plugin we noticed.

After porting the codeblock changes to our custom debugger plugin, we added variable to the watch window & then try to stop & see the variable in the watch window, but "DbgCmd_UpdateWindow" not clearing from the queue. It is halt in the command itself.

Kindly assist us to resolve this issue.

Is this plugin copy-pasted from the gdb plugin?
DbgCmd_UpdateWindow is internal to the gdb plugin, you're not supposed to use it in your plugin.

Hi,
Thank you for the response.

Yes. But previously we used DbgCmd_UpdateWatchesTree function in our plugin. Watch window was working fine previously.

But now after moved to DbgCmd_UpdateWindow not working.

You have to debug it to see what is going on. I cannot help you, because I don't know how your plugin works, nor what modifications you've made to the gdb's plugin source code.

Can you provide general guidelines for how to debug the codeblocks source code like step in/step out?

There is nothing special... Regular debugging - start cb under cb and use the debugger plugin. Set breakpoint, printfs, inspect variables.
