List of Features

Purpose of this document

This file contains a list of features, improvements and known issues to incorporate into the MonoDevelop Add-in as we go. We use it to track the features to implement (road map) and also who and what is doing at the moment (assignments).

How to use this document

There is no release version really ready for this Add-in currently, therefore issues are only regression bugs. If you encounter such a regression, please create an issue directly on github for it in the project. If anybody finds something is missing in the debugging experience with this Add-in and is able to specify it as a feature request, please put it in here. We will manage the list to be reviewed and implemented regularly.

Features

It is a good practice that each feature has its corresponding breakpoint location in the test D project where it can be verified.

  • LL associative arrays - values
  • LL associative arrays - types
  • LL complete class instance browsing support - values
  • LL visualization of static class member data
  • LL complete interface instance browsing support - values
  • LL visualization of statically defined (global) data
  • LL strings visualized in text editor (text visualization pad)
  • LL support for browsing struct instances

Improvements

  • LL verify the stack visualization status
  • LL navigate from stack frames into corresponding code
  • LL visualize char values in rich format (char+hex+decimal)
  • LL use C# conversion for real numbers instead of our custom real interpretation of GDB memory
  • LL *string aliases are misleadingly replaced by the unaliased immutable(*char)[]
    • LL in general, add type alias to variable type visualization, e.g. wstring[] (immutable(wchar)[][])
  • LL get rid of these _TMPxx variables in Locals pad
  • LL reformat dynamic string length xx from xx´"string" to something more appropriate, also to see the actual code point length (physical length) as well as the number of characters (logical length)
  • LL verify the pointer variables resolution

Known issues

  • AB fix values for *string (aliased) variables (+ in arrays)
  • LL fix the Locals pad expansion visualization so that its content does not jump around each time a variable is expanded/collapsed
  • LL fix function parameters when instance of object/interface (not recognized at all)
  • AB *string arrays do not have their types set, nor they can be expanded

Notes

LL (llucenic) = Ľudovít Lučenič
AB (aBothe) = Alexander Bothe
