John,
Surely issue 12 is not unique to BlitzMax? And possibly more of an IDE function, or possibly symptomatic of the first (and primary) point about the docs?
Can I ask someone to clarify what we mean by "sort the debugger out". It's a bit woolly - what is it that we want it to be able to do?
Personally, I'd like to have the ability to:
- ability to stop the code from the IDE without needing to code a debugstop() in advance.
- have the debug code pass changes in data in variables back up to the IDE.
These two would do me, and would also enable the IDE to implement variable watches (i.e. stop when a var changes, or hits a certain value). Ideally, I'd also like a way to type a simple command in and run it (e.g. Print x.z*5), but can see that as being truly evil to implement!
