[ANN] ruby-debug 0.1.3

Hello Everyone,

I’m pleasant to announce the release of ruby-debug 0.1.3.

If you think that ruby-breakpoint is too limited for your needs and
debug.rb brings your application to its knees, you might find
this small extension useful.

INSTALL

It’s a usual procedure:

$ gem install ruby-debug

DOCS

This library has almost identical interface with the standard debug.rblibrary.

Also you can check out my little tutorial at

Cheers,
Kent.

Hello Kent,

This is great. Thanks for writing it.

One request I have, is that a carriage return with nothing on the line run the
last next or step command. This is something I’m used to from the perl
debugger, which makes it nice to single step through your script. Otherwise,
it’s a pain to have to type “n\n” or “s\n” to step through the script.

Regards,
Blair

Blair,

You are right, for some reason it slipped from the original
implementation. I've added it back.

Thank you.

Peña,

No, it's not. There is an almost identical library bundled with Ruby
called debug.rb which is pure ruby. It's just much slower.

Kent.
