Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources When switching between frames with the "Frame Stack" widget, the "Variables" widget doesn't update its local variables. So it is not possible to examine variables from other than the current frame, which is very often needed, for example after crashes (it usually segfaults in a very low-level frame). The tooltip for variables also doesn't seem to work for frames other than the current one. This is something fundamental for a debugger and I would expect this to work in the final 1.0 release.
I'm guessing that our frontend doesn't even switch the frames, but just allows to open the corresponding files at the moment. Hence implementing a way to actually switch the instruction-pointer to the given frame would probably solve this already.
Im using kdev 3.9.96 & gdb 7.0 and i don't see any locals after i stopped in a breakpoint Info locals on gdb says ^done(gdb) info locals info locals rval = -1 __FUNCTION__ = "doExecute" ^doneterpreter=mi2 -quiet I do not change any frames
We really need locals to work in the debugger - and they don't work at all currently.
Currently locals don't work at all in the debugger. Although I am fed up with eclipse, this is a show stopper for me. Come on guys, fix it, so I can come back to kdevelop ;-)
fixed in trunk. (rev. 1055240 and 1055628)
