From @KES777

Created by @KES777

I have subroutine​:

  614​: sub create_constraint
  x615​: {
  x616​: my ($c, $options) = @​_;
  617​:
  x618​: my $generator = _generator($options);
  x619​: my $table_name = $c->table->qualified_name;
  .....
  677​: }
  678​:
  x679​: return \@​constraint_defs, \@​fks;
  680​: }

But for this sub in %DB​::sub I have next entry​:

  lib/SQL/Translator/Producer/PostgreSQL.pm​:615-680

The subroutine consist of declaration and definition.
https://perldoc.perl.org/perlsub.html#SYNOPSIS

But [documentation](https://perldoc.perl.org/perldebguts.html#Debugger-Internals) did not say what hash entry consist of​:
the only declaration or definition too.

Please fix debugger internals or documentation.

Subject​: Documentation about debugger should be cleared

This is a bug report for perl from kes-kes@​yandex.ru,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.24.0.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

I have subroutine​:

614​: sub create_constraint
x615​: {
x616​: my ($c, $options) = @​_;
617​:
x618​: my $generator = _generator($options);
x619​: my $table_name = $c->table->qualified_name;
.....
677​: }
678​:
x679​: return \@​constraint_defs, \@​fks;
680​: }

But for this sub in %DB​::sub I have next entry​:

lib/SQL/Translator/Producer/PostgreSQL.pm​:615-680

The subroutine consist of declaration and definition.
https://perldoc.perl.org/perlsub.html#SYNOPSIS

But
[documentation](https://perldoc.perl.org/perldebguts.html#Debugger-
Internals) did not say what hash entry consist of​:
the only declaration or definition too.

Please fix debugger internals or documentation.

I don't think there's anything that needs to be fixed.

In pod/perldebguts.pod, under the "Debugger Internals" section you mentioned, we have this paragraph​:

#####
A hash C<%DB​::sub> is maintained, whose keys are subroutine names and whose values have the form C<filename​:startline-endline>. C<filename> has the form C<(eval 34)> for subroutines defined inside C<eval>s.
#####

The output you cite conforms to the 'filename​:startline-endline' format described in that paragraph. The documentation makes no claim to providing the subroutine definition. Doing so would probably entail a complete overhaul of the debugger -- and my hunch is that there is no one who wants to take on that task at this time.

Thank you very much.
