Debugging limitations
General limitations
- Watch expression: Agents are not supported (for instance "agent my_function" is not supported").
- You cannot yet create an instance of SPECIAL.
- The debugger is not very helpful when the execution is stopped inside an invariant.
- Wrong assertion tag shown in debugger for precondition violation if violated during an exception rescue, indeed the tag remains the one from the exception
- If you use the "Disable Assertion Handling" functionality when the execution is stopped in a rescue, the effect might be cancelled as soon as the execution exits the rescue's associated feature.
- Evaluating an expression with a catcall might crash the debugger
Limitations or known bugs for the Classic debugger
- Evaluating
Precursor
will produce the current feature'sResult
(not the precursor) - If you use any of the previous non supported expressions in a breakpoint condition, since the evaluation is failing the condition will always return True. In such case the debugger will stop.
Limitations or known bugs for the .Net debugger
- When stepping through disabled assertions or disabled debug clauses, the debugger may show incorrect current line.
- When stepping through an inspect code, the debugger may show incorrect current line (especially if the inspect is not ordered)
- Under dotnet v2.0, the debugger may have difficulties to fetch the stack values, especially during first chance exception events
