No perl6-debug #6305
Comments
From @finanalystHere is a copy of my session. No perl6-debug. All the documentation implies I should have the executable. I'm running $ rakudobrew build moar <normal output> Rakudo has been built and installed. $ perl6-debug $ perl6 -v $cd ~/.rakudobrew |

Which documentation, out of curiosity? rakudobrew is mostly for core hackers, not end users, so it'd likely be best to remove that documentation. As for the perl6-debug. It's likely called perl6-debug-m However, it bitrotted a bit and even if you find it, it won't work ATM. Hoping someone will find tuits to fix it before next release. |

From @geekosaurI would argue that perl6-debug shouldn't exist; if you are debugging, you On Sun, Jun 4, 2017 at 2:12 AM, Zoffix Znet via RT <

From @finanalystIf rakudobrew is only for core hackers, then why is it on the rakudo As for documentation, I googled perl6 debug and find perl6-debug. I am I now know that perl6-debug-m is bit rotted, but I quote from 5 December "The debugger has been included with the last few Rakudo * releases. If I have problems with the debugger because I have not been able to get it However, I also quote from the same blog: "There’s much more to the It seems to me that rather than trying to remove all mention of the It is a shame that this has happened because it seems a step backwards.

Is that on rakudo.org? I see some mention of rakudobrew on http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo/ [1] https://rt-archive.perl.org/perl6/Ticket/Display.html?id=130500#ticket-history
You should probably double check the dates on posts that show up in Google.
I think you misunderstood. I was talking about removing rakudobrew,

From @finanalystI would like to work on perl6-debug. But where to start? I am daunted by the prospect. Some questions - hopefully easy to answer. 1) In earlier updates there was a perl6-debug executable. Was this just 2) perl6-debug worked before, and then stopped working. You said Do you think this is a good strategy? More difficult questions, but you may know answer. 3) Why is it not possible to arrange for a break inside a module? I realise it is because modules are 'pre-compiled', but is there a way Finally, I was thinking about making a GUI or perhaps linking it to Atom. Your comments would be helpful.

Most likely.
Maybe. It broke around slang rework (around 2017.02-2017.03 releases). On our dev IRC channel ( https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#perl6-dev ) perl6-debug-m currently dies with this error. Hunting what's causing it is a good start: ```
No idea. Never used perl6-debug-m
Yes, use `no precompilation` pragma. |
From @finanalystThanks for feedback. A follow up: <snip>
So I would have in the topmost program: use v6.c; In the documentation (https://docs.perl6.org/language/pragmas), So is it ignored ? Regards, |
From @cokeTBD there indicates that the documentation is yet to be done. On Thu, Jun 8, 2017 at 4:38 AM, Richard Hainsworth

From @finanalystThis is slightly different to what is in documentation. ' "[TBD]" are to be defined later' is in the file <language/pragmas> I took "defined" to mean "done" rather than "documented". In other I'm not quite sure which of these is meant. TBI = to be implemented => on the wish list, but we haven't got around On Friday, June 09, 2017 07:34 AM, Will Coleda via RT wrote:

From @finanalystJust started work on getting perl6-debug to work again. Some help: There is a commit to rakudo-debug - pmurias <https://github.com/pmurias> This is about the time the debugger went AWOL. So I thought to reverse But I'm having a problem getting the local version to work. I used rakudobrew to set up my system. I tried to change perl6-debug.nqp in a subdirectory of .rakudobrew/moar-nom The change went through, but the executable (perl6-debug-m) was not It seems the executable in .rakudobrew/bin is a complex script and is Is there some documentation about the build process? Or how do I get an executable in the form in .rakudobrew/bin No need for a full description, just some clues that I can work on. I am working through the Makefile in .rakudobrew/moar-nom, but it is not Regards, Richard On Wednesday, June 07, 2017 06:12 PM, Zoffix Znet via RT wrote:

Yes, forget rakudobrew. It's not for working on rakudo. Clone from the repo and build the compiler: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/ git clone https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/ You'll have ./perl6-debug-m then in the current dir. |
From @zoffixznetThe debugger's fixed now in rakudo/rakudo@6d4691f Tests (in rakudo's test suite) needed. |
