digitalmars.D.debugger - [ddbg] Unable to find source files

I ran into a problem the other day where ddbg 0.8.1 was telling me that 
it couldn't find line xxx of file yyy.  But it knew there was a file 
yyy.  It listed it in the modules list.

Don't have time to narrow it down to a repro right now, but just wanted 
to see if anyone else had seen this.  The source file in question was 
called OptMesh.d and I was running the debugger from a \data directory 
beneath that.  It was finding the other files fine, so my thought was 
maybe there's a bug with mixed case filenames.  The files that were 
working were all lowercase.  Maybe just a coincidence, though.

if you find that the linenumber ddbg is complaining about doesn't exist, 
it's probably this problem.
else i'll need to reproduce this situation.
i haven't seen any problem concerning case of filenames, yet.

Nope it wasn't codeblocks. I was getting the line number from emacs and typing it in at the ddbg command prompt.

Ok. I'll keep my eyes open for it happening in a little more compact sample. --bb

I have the same problem using ddbg from command line.

I am getting the same sort of error but my situation is almost entirely 
different :)

I'm using code::blocks.  I have:

E:\Program Files\CodeBlocks
E:\D\DMD
E:\D\DMC
E:\D\DMD\BIN    <-ddbg installed here
E:\D\src

I followed the directions on the ddbg site to setup the debugger etc.

I created a new project in CodeBlocks:

E:\D\src\Sudoku\

adding 1 file

E:\D\src\Sudoku\sudoku.d

which I open and add 1 breakpoint, then I run and get:

 break "E:/D/src/Sudoku/sudoku.d:5"
Soure file "E:\D\src\Sudoku\sudoku.d" not found in the Debugger(debug) window and it does not stop on the breakpoint. The interesting thing is that in command prompt the path "E:/D/src/Sudoku/sudoku.d" cannot be found, but changing one path set from / to \ and it can!

CB has a couple of issues with the GDB integration (which also controls Ddbg). When in doubt, try reproducing the problem on the Ddbg command line.

does that problem also occur when you debug the program on the command line?

ddbg doesn't support absolute filenames, atm. use lsm to list the source modules as they are saved in the executable and use these names (or substrings of them) to set the breakpoints. in order to find the (relative) source module paths, you need to set the search path. assuming you compiled in c:\projects\nsdata\ and you're executing in c:\projects\nsdata\bin\Debug the following should work: sp ..\.. bp src\nsd\nsd.d:1361 or, as a shortcut: bp nsd.d:1361

ddbg doesn't support absolute filenames, atm.
Will ddbg support it in the future? The easiest way from a "front-end to ddbg" point is to just configure the source paths, pass the absoulte filename, and let ddbg figure the relative path. Otherwise all front-ends will end up having this algorithm (duplicated) instead of having it in one place (the debugger). Also from a command-line point this is useful: instead of having the user "calculate" the relative path, she could copy the absoulte path and let ddbg figure it out.

Btw, Descent is great!
I was using Code::Blocks for some time before, but it was crashing 
sometimes, other times it seemed the parser hung (didn't help with restart). 
The symbol browser didn't work nice. No rebuild support. Highlighting was 
outdated. Probably a lot of other things I can't remember right now too.
