Release notes for EiffelStudio 6.7 related to the debugger

Graphical environment

  • More compact "Execution" (debugger) menu
  • Now changing the catcall detection from the exception handling dialog has immediate impact (previously the user had to interrupt and continue the execution to see the impact)
  • It is now possible to open the exception dialog to visualize the CAT call warning exception at the debugger level.
  • Minor change, now Ctrl+Alt+C (or +Ins) will copy into clipboard the selected stacks without the (stack) values and Ctrl+C (or +Ins) will copy into clipboard the selected stacks with stack values (local and arguments)

Debugger engine

  • Now handle correctly manifest string and string_32 in debugger (expression evaluation)
  • Improved stepping in MT debugging session. Now the debugger stays in the same thread (instead of jumping from a thread to another without any coherence).
  • Fixed void-safety issue, when trying to evaluate `Result' in watch tool (previously, it was reporting VEVI ...)
