 Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2006 5:46 am Post subject: 110.22 Ahk script Debugger 1.1.5b (line-by-line capable) |
 |
|
Usage:
#!d debugger settings dialog. Generates or reads from .ini file.
F12 Breaks if there is no splashtext-break; useful if no Line# Return is specified.
RCtrl continue from break; hold down for continuous advance.
Note1: At break-points, hotkeys and timers will still run.
Note2: The presence of timers other than the debug timer will prevent straightforward, line-by-line monitoring of non-timer code.
settings (in settings dialog):
use debug = allows toggling of debug mode.
debug line-by-line = if not checked, the debugger will intercept and display commands which have an execution time of at least .01 sec.
skip 400+ lines-passed alert = is displayed when each of ~400 code lines in LinesHistory execute in less than .01 sec, meaning the debugger will miss monitoring some lines.
sleep to maintain active windows (millisec) = allows adjustment in combination with A_WinDelay, for active windows seen by target code.
Line# Return of target code = used to alert on thread completed (optional).
which Lines to check = if this is used, turn off line-by-line for faster debugging. Specified lines should be Sleep 10 or higher, used as break-points.
---
To debug, place the following 2 lines at the top of the target code to be debugged, after the subroutine label:
| Code: | if debug_On
GoSub Debug_Init |
If you have an OnClipboardChange routine, place the following immediately after the label:
| Code: | if OnClipboardChangeDeactivated OR debugRun ; or just: if debugRun
RETURN |
Along with the Break/Exit-debug options in the debugger, you may also Reload from the File menu of the Ahk main window.
Here is the debugger code (an example for debugging is given at the end):
| Code: | SetTitleMatchMode, 2
GoSub Load_DebuggerSettings ; place in auto-execute section
return
Load_DebuggerSettings:
if FileExist(A_ScriptDir . "\Ahk debugger settings.ini")

i will probably improve the code to optionally show last 10 lines executed, or last N lines specified by the user. Also, it would be good to have a display of target variables, selected by the user beforehand. Currently, ^v to display all the script's variables, will have to suffice. I will also look into removing the timer-limitation in line-by-line mode.

That's a great idea. When I find time I will study the code. Thanks for sharing.

don't these functions | Code: | StringL(in, charsToKeep, charsToTrim="")
InString(a,b) |
already exist in AHK? I thought StringMid and InStr() would do the same thing?

| An interactive AHk debugger is an interesting idea. Could be useful to help new users get a feel for AHk. |

You are right that StringMid can be used, but i've personally found StringL() to be a bit more useful than StringMid() would be, and so it has become my preference. On InString() vs. InStr(), my use of InString() had simply become a habit (there were 2 months after Functions had first become available that the current built-in functions were not yet built-in), plus i stripped part of my custom function that i had been experimenting with. Anyway, i've changed the code to use InStr() throughout. Thanks for mentioning it.
---
For those who have been experimenting with the debugger, you may have noticed that the line-by-line mode wasnt really line-by-line. In v1.1.2 it had been working, but when i coded the Debug_Init subroutine, i changed the sleep value to 10, which apparently affects whether SetBatchLines=1 takes effect. However, this has been fixed by raising the Sleep period to a higher value (300).
| Code: | ; v1.1.4
; fixed line-by-line mode
; added Return=Submit+Close in settings dialog |
Thanks all for the compliments. I hope to improve the code further.
