GUI for bochs debugger

[Solar]

3. I will replace 0x00 printing with dots

Not just 0x00, please. <ctype.h> has a nice function called isprint(). If that one returns false, print a dot. (You wouldn't want to print BELL, ACK, DEL or TAB, either.)

1.05

* Added watch breakpoints (F9/Ctrl+F9 when in dump window. Note that they cannot be removed due to bochs "not implemented yet").

* Fixed bug in printing ascii characters in dump (print dots, reverse string).

* Resize on font change.

I hope I am not making you a hard life developing this very nice debugger interface.
But I am recently implemented and checked in new Bochs internal debugger watchpoints implementation and the interface for accessing watchpoints a bit changed.
The watchpoints will have handles now , similarly to the breakpoints. 16 simultanious watchpoints are supported, no matter if they are read or write.
Removing watchpoints is also supported by handle now.

That is why I keep the source private for now When will the next version get released ?

Next year may be ...
Actually new version is released when we have something valuable to release. It might be even next week if needed.
Currently we don't.

how long time the running os takes.

Hi there,
Firstly, just wanted to express my huge admiration at this project ;>
It is really gonna make my (and surely others' too) work sooooo much easier ;>
I wish you kept developing it for a long time ;)

However, I found a little bug while testing it ;> Seems there is something wrong with the data part of the window:



Looks like your frontend read/displayed single bytes as DWORDs or something...
That's all for now, keep this project alive man! ;p

Hi,

I have a problem to run it. I downloaded bochs.exe from http://www.turboirc.com/tools/bochs.exe, but when I run it I have a console bochs window instead of GUI. Can you add a small know-how desc.?

[j00ru]

@up: isn't it about the

Make sure that the bochs option to load the gui is enabled
display_library: win32, options="windebug"

note on the first page? I had the same situation

[viki]

Thx for reply, now it works.

Ping !
Any news about debugger sources release ?

Thanks,

Well, since none adds any more suggestions...

http://www.turboirc.com/tools/bochssrc.rar

Contains:


* stuff.h - the code. For simplicity I packed it in one .h code rather than creating a lot of .cpps and have the user put them all to the project.
* 2.rc - the RC to
* readme.txt - directions on how to add these to the project.

Please do keep me updated for any efficient changes made to the source so I can update mine and release the binary.

Thank you very much, Michael.
Could I get permission to integrate the sources into Bochs main tree ?
Do you wish to add any lisense or we could use LGPL ?

thanks,

I 'd be happy if my code is part of the bochs source from now on, no problem for LGPL. Do compile it and tell me if it works without issues.

Also double check win32dialog.cpp win32_notify_callback, I think I 've changed it slightly but I don't quite remember , I think It was the "case BX_SYNC_EVT_GET_DBG_COMMAND:" case.

Code: Select all

BxEvent* win32_notify_callback(void *unused, BxEvent *event)
{
  int opts;
  bx_param_c *param;
  bx_param_string_c *sparam;
#if BX_DEBUGGER
  char debug_msg[1024];
  int i, j;
#endif

  event->retcode = -1;
  switch (event->type)

      LogAskDialog(event);
