Debug tests

The below tests have been completed. Any issues found is indicated below the test entry.

Run DSF-GDB JUnit tests

  • Ran the local tests for 7.4 and 7.5 (with latest GDB HEAD).

Got this assertion, probably from the Multicore Visualizer:
Uncaught exception in session executor thread: java.lang.AssertionError: Exception thrown by a IServiceEventListener.ServiceHandlerMethod method
       at org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.service.DsfSession.doDispatchEvent(DsfSession.java:529)
       at org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.service.DsfSession.access$2(DsfSession.java:463)
       at org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.service.DsfSession$3.run(DsfSession.java:390)
       at org.eclipse.cdt.dsf.concurrent.DefaultDsfExecutor$TracingWrapperRunnable.run(DefaultDsfExecutor.java:374)
When I disabled -ea, things worked ok.  Will open a bug.
  • Look at Variables view and Debug view to see that the collected data is properly displayed
  • Make sure that unavailable data shows "<unavailable>" in the Variables view

  • Look at Variables view and Debug view to see that the collected data is properly displayed
  • Make sure that unavailable data shows "<unavailable>" in the Variables view
For postmortem files, the breakpoints view does not synchronize with the current trace record.  In a live session it does.  Will open bug.

Fast Tracepoint tests

The error decorator is shown in the editor if a tracepoint cannot be set, but it is not show in the Disassembly view.  Will open bug.

Multicore Visualizer

  • Run a multi-threaded local debug session

  • verify the context menu has the runControl operations and select all and that they work as expected
  • start a second multi-threaded process
  • verify that the new threads are shown in the visualizer
  • select a thread in the new process and press the terminate button in the visualizer
  • verify that only the relevant process is removed and the other keeps being debugged and displayed

Large array partitions

  • create an array with over 10000 elements
  • verify in both the variables and expressions view that the array shows partitions of 10000 elements containing partitions of 100 elements.

Edit Breakpoint on Create

  • Hit ctrl while double-clicking to create a breakpoint in the editor
  • verify the properties page for the bp opens before the breakpoint gets created
