digitalmars.D.debugger - mago-mi: Mago debugger GDB MI compatible interface

Hello,

I'm working on GDB MI compatible interface for Mago debugger.

My fork of Mago:

https://github.com/buggins/mago

mago-mi project is here:

https://github.com/buggins/mago/tree/master/MagoMI/mago-mi

Once ready, I'm planning to use it in DlangIDE under Windows.
I hope some day it may be used instead of gdb and llvm-mi under 
Windows by other IDEs which are compatible with GDB MI interface.

Current state: has working command line interface, can 
run/interrupt/step program.

Work in progress: setting of breakpoints.


Best regards,
     Vadim

Status update: Minimally works with DlangIDE.

With DlangIDE you can set Edit/Preferences/Debugger to mago-mi.
You can run program, set/remove/enable/disable breakpoints, step 
in/over/out, stop execution.
You can see threads, stack frames.
Viewing of local variables -- in progress.

Update: local variables display is implemented.
mago-mi now works good with DlangIDE.
If you want to try, prebuilt binaries of DlangIDE + mago-mi + dub 
can be downloaded here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/crengine/files/DlangUI/dlangide-v061-magomi-v010-x86.zip/download

Or just use `dub run dlangide`

Thanks, I will add it to code-debug so Windows users can also 
debug their D programs in visual studio code.

You can try it if VS Code supports gdb-mi interface.
Recent build is available here: 
https://github.com/buggins/dlangide/releases
With Eclipse/DDT there is some problem - it doesn't see that 
after setting of breakpoint and running execution is stopped.
Please let me know results of your VS Code try.

ok I finally added mago-mi to code-debug. Now you can install the 
extension in visual studio code by typing `ext install Mago` into 
the Ctrl-P dialog.

Great.

Debug variables are not fully supported yet - it's impossible to 
expand structs/classes/pointers/arrays so far in mago-mi.
Going to implement it later.

mago-mi v0.2.1 is released.

Precompiled binaries are available in DlangIDE release bundle.
https://github.com/buggins/dlangide/releases/tag/v0.6.5

Added support for a lot of GDB/MI commands.
Compatibility with GDB fixed.
Tested with Eclipse/DDT.

You can build dmd/x86 project in Eclipse/DDT, start debugging, 
use breakpoints, step in/out/over, see threads, stack frames, 
variables.
Just change Debug Configuration / Debugger setting - from GDB to 
mago-mi
