[Gambas-user] Feature Request; Debugger

[Gareth Bult]

Hi,

this would mean that I have a custom component that's specific to every application I write ..

(a) this makes life very difficult from an installation point of view
(b) one would need to develop a function, debug it, then split it off into a component
    (rather inefficient!!)
(c) there are still occasions where you might want to debug the function, which would meant swapping
    it back to your main module, fixing it, then swapping back to the component

My current application is a graphical IMAP mirror to synchronise mailboxes between servers. It uses 4 concurrent IMAP client connections and about 8 concurrent counters / progress bars. There's a fair bit of code and debugging a 100,000 message transfer can be painful at the best of times.

Apparently "little" things like being able to skip over large "known" blocks of code while debugging can make a massive difference in terms of development time .. (!)

Gareth.

Salut Gareth,

make a Component which includes all these subroutines / procedures.

Amicalment
