- Metrowerks Debugger release notes
- =================================
-
- Version: 1.1.1
- Date: January 25, 1995
- Author: Dan Podwall
-
- This is an update to 1.1 68K and PowerPC debuggers from the
- Metrowerks CodeWarrior CW5 CD.
-
- The enclosed patches are for use with UpdateUser 2.3.1 from the
- CW5 CD. They will not work with earlier versions of UpdateUser.
- UpdateUser can be found in 'Metrowerks Utilities ƒ:Tools for Netborne patches ƒ:'
-
- Bug fixes
- `````````
-
- - Fixed a 68K crasher that happened on some configurations
- when displaying variables or stepping into C++ routines.
-
- - Fixed problems in evaluating expressions containing
- arrays, string comparisons, and operator '!'.
-
- - Fixed some data structure dereferencing problems,
- mostly affecting Pascal.
-
- - The popup function menu didn't work when syntax coloring is disabled.
- In case you didn't know, the debugger gets its default font and
- syntax coloring settings from the ones you've specified as the
- defaults in the environment. You set them by changing the editor
- prefs when no project or editor window is open.
-
- - Fixed some drag and drop hilighting/selection problems.
-
- - Made the OK key work properly in the “View As” dialog.
-
- - Made the outline triangles change state when you expand/collapse
- from the keyboard.
-
- - Made the toolbar state update after a running process is targeted.
-
- - No longer lets you attempt to launch a shared library via the toolbar.
-
- - Added an error message for the -27361 error that occurs when
- File Sharing is starting up, and under other mysterious circumstances.
-
- - Now recognizes .cc and .cxx as C++ file extensions.
-
- - No longer leaves the watch cursor set after a command
- completes.
-
- Known bugs and incompatibilities
- ````````````````````````````````
-
- - When debugging a shared library, the CFM fragment name must
- match the file name. This is the case by default, unless you
- enter a fragment name in the PPC Linker prefs or create your
- own 'cfrg' resource. This is not really a bug, it's just
- that there's currently no way for the debugger to connect
- the fragment up with the shared library and/or SYM file.
-
- - In the PowerPC debugger, attempting to step over SetWindowPic()
- or any of the Standard File calls will hang the machine. The workaround
- is to set a breakpoint after the call and run to the breakpoint.
-
- - RamDoubler and the PowerPC debugger are not compatible.
-
- - With both debuggers, when a program stopped in background it is sent
- to the front when resumed, but it doesn't get a resume event.
