Macro development step over/into does not work in some cases

[Kazzz-S]

Hello @klayoutmatthias,

The green arrow (=>) stops at a breakpoint in the macro development tool. But it would not move with the step over/into button clicks in some builds.

I have found 3 out of 17 cases, as shown in the table below. StepOver-Problem.xlsx

I found this problem yesterday (first in Srl. No.10), but I need help determining the possible cause. Do you have any suggestions, like increasing the verbosity level?

Best regards, Kazzz-S

Hi @Kazzz-S,

thanks for reporting this. It reproduces very well.

I had this issue when modal dialog were opened during debugging, but apparently that applies always. I should not have deleted line 3767 in https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/commit/0a453b069c58f8dbf382adfa14ae7f97caab0966 :(

There is no trace one can easily turn on. The way to debug this is in C++, setting a breakpoint in this function:

The marked loop does not exit, as the "m_in_breakpoint" flag is not reset.

Hi @klayoutmatthias,

Thanks for the quick fix :-) Now Srl. No.10 works fine. I'll test the other two later at home.

Cont.

I have also confirmed that Srl. No.1 and No.8 work fine.

Thanks Kazzz-S
