Where ocamldebug is launched? #13

Closed db4 closed 5 years ago

db4 commented 5 years ago

I've just started to play with this with no success yet (maybe this is due to Windows platform I use). So excuse me for a dumb question: where ocamldebug program is launched? I don't see any mention of it in the sources.

It doesn't use ocamldebug as backend. It use ocaml debug socket as protocol to interact with ocaml vm.

BTW: Windows and WSL supports are not planed since I have not enough time to work on this project.

I see, you've borrowed some code from ocamldebug sources. It's brave decision because you'll have to track ocamldebug fixes/changes (if any).

BTW: Windows and WSL supports are not planed since I have not enough time to work on this project.

That's a pity. vscode-ocaml has Windows support, but it's deprecated in favour of this extension that even doesn't plan such support. OK, I could try add it, but if you "have not enough time to work on this project", isn't it going to be deprecated soon as well?

No, It won't deprecated soon unless there is a mature solution other than ocamlearlybird.

It use this interface https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/trunk/runtime/caml/debugger.h. It's stable enough.
