[Gambas-user] Feature Request; Debugger

[Gareth Bult]

Sure,

However I re-use functions (a lot).
I would need (for example) about 20 breakpoints to cover "getToken" in the application I'm working on at this particular point in time. It would make a deal of sense to be able to cover the function once, rather than having to maintain 20 breakpoints.. (?)

Gareth.

Is it posible to put a breakpoint after the call to subroutines and continue
inside the subroutines till it is returnd.

This does remember me zdebug, the debugger from the 'EditAssembler+' on the trs80.
Here you could give a count on a breakpoint to come in affect at the Nthe times
the breakpoint is hit. (This was a MS application :)  ) 
This way it could have a count of i.e. 48 and you could step the last part to
verify the subroutine returns the good way/value or detect the problem at return.
