Hi there, I was trying to run the debugger in XEmacs on Windows XP
(SP2) and it wasn't behaving as I expected.
To make a long story short, the problem is buffering. I noticed that
irb/init.rb explicitly does:
STDOUT.sync=true
very early on, and so it works fine, but the debugger never seemed to
return anything. Sure enough, when I did set sync to true, everything
worked as I expected.
Is this an oversight, or is there something wrong with my setup, or
what?
Also, I noticed that the debugger intentionally prints two octal 32
chars at the beginning of a line. I'm not sure why this is, but it
sure makes the output look funny in the debug buffer I'm guessing
this is some kind of comint magic thing that works differently between
unix and windows?
Thanks,
Hunter
