Bug fixes:
* Use fresh copy of globals/locals so the script being debugged can't access
the pdb namespace (e.g.: p line_prefix will no longer work).
* Remove pdb.py's path from sys.path. Having it in there is normally not a
problem, but it could prove irritating when messing with PYTHONPATH or
invoking pdb via /usr/bin/pdf.
* You can now set a breakpoint on the script being debugged, even if the script
doesn't end with a '.py' extension. Also, setting breakpoints with absolute
paths now works reliably.
Enhancements:
* Go directly to the first line of the script.
* Enter post-mortem debugging if the script being debugged doesn't catch an
exception.
* Restart the script being debugged and preserve debugger state when the script
being debugged exits.
Cleanup:
* Moved the __main__ method into a main() function.
* Kill the (undocumented, not in __all__) mainmodule/mainpyfile globals, add a
mainpyfile attribute to pdb.
Thanks Ilya Sandler for the patch!
1) When a breakpoint is set via a function name:
- the breakpoint gets the lineno of the def statement
- a new funcname attribute is attached to the breakpoint
2) bdb.effective() calls new function checkfuncname() to handle:
- def statement is executed: don't break.
- a first executable line of a function with a breakpoint on the lineno of the
def statement is reached: break.
This fixes bugs 976878, 926369 and 875404. Thanks Ilya Sandler.
Check the supplied breakpoint number more carefully.
(Incompatibility: before this patch, "enable -1" would enable
the last breakpoint on the list; now -1 is not a legal ID. Not sure
anyone would ever use negative indices...)
2.2 bugfix candidate, assuming making -1 illegal isn't considered a problem.
[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers
with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.
[ 587993 ] SET_LINENO killer
Remove SET_LINENO. Tracing is now supported by inspecting co_lnotab.
Many sundry changes to document and adapt to this change.
more spaces only crashed pdb.
While I was at it, cleaned up some style nits (spaces between function
and parenthesis, and redundant parentheses in if statement).
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
When you set a breakpoint on a function with a multi-line argument
list, the breakpoint is actually set on the second line of the
arguments instead of the first line of the body. This patch fixes
that.
*this* set of patches is Ka-Ping's final sweep:
The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules
have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries.
A new docstring was added to formatter. The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.
