[Mono-dev] mono debugger: some questions

[Harald Krapfenbauer]

hello martin,
 
I recently investigated the mono debugger and it looks quite good and
stable for mono c# development. however, I have some questions...
 
1) changing variables
the mono web site states that the debugger is able to "Inspect and
change static and instance fields, local variables, and parameters
[DONE]." inspecting variables etc. does work, but I did not found a
command to change them. what's the current status or what is the correct
command?

2) ironpython support
debugging mono assemblies that were created by ironpython (i used 1.1)
is partly working. I can set line breakpoints, next-stepping works, and
source code lines of python code are also shown. (I saved the .exe
before with -X:SaveAssemblies.)
what's annoying is that the debugger always steps into the ironpython
source code. furthermore, inspecting python variables does not work.
say, I want to enhance mdb with ironpython support, what would I need to
implement? create a new namespace Mono.Debugger.Languages.IronPython?

3) remote debugging support
Say, I want to have remote debugging with mdb where mdb shall run on the
host and the debugee runs on the target.
