I made many improvements on debugger; now it should run smoothly and consume much fewer cpu.

Please test it deeply and tell me if you've got any problems.

Ciao

Hello Massimo,

It seems that now IDE has got big lag when it is in GDB_MI2 mode.

How to reproduce?
1. Start debugging in GDB_MI2 mode.
2. Click on any ide element. (It takes a lot of time to activate any of the ide elements such as CodeEditor etc.. It seems that lag time is around one second). So, editing some code in debug mode is difficult.

P.S.
Now, Locals & Watches tabs don't lock ide.

Sincerely,
klugier

Yep, I see.... that's because of tooltip handling.
I'll try to find a better way and, if none, I'll disable it.

Hi klugier,

could you please test it now ? Still not perfect, but should be faster.

Hello Massimo,

It seems that it is slow as it was before. Moreover, the lag prevents me to select text in CodeEditor.

Ok, removed tooltips by now.... could you please re-test if it's ok now ?

BTW, an initial lag (after stepping/running) is foreseen, it is updating the variable display when idle.
I'll try anyways to shorten that one too.

Hello Massimo,

Now, ide works at normal speed, but as you wrote - initial lag can be observed.

Sincerely,

Now all should be fixed.... no lags and tooltips working.

BTW, tooltips show ONLY values for local variables, having them evaluate arbitrary expressions is too time expensive.

Also 'autos' pane shows just local variables near cursor, not global or member ones.

Hello Massimo,

I would like to noticed that debbuger panel loading time is relatively large (Application works, but panel isn't loaded).

Moreover moving between tabs: "Autos", "Locals", "Watches" & "Explorer" also takes "a long" time (lag effect).

Sincerely,
Klugier

Panels are loaded after 500 ms after debugger goes idle, to allow to step with fast speed without unneeded delay.
Anyways, if you step fast you don't have time to read panels and, after you stop stepping I guess that half a second delay for update is more than acceptable.....

Switching panes should have no lag at all.... which kind of lag do you have ?

Before your updates it loaded super fast. Moreover on Windows with pdb, panels are loding a lot of faster.

On my computer switching between panes takes exactly 3(+-1) seconds even if debugging is finished.

GDB & GCC information:
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.6.1-ubuntu
g++-4.8.real (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.1-10ubuntu9) 4.8.1

P.S.
I have found nice artifact in "Locals" pane.

P.S. 2
IDE is compiled with MT mode.

I don't notice any delay in loading, besides the foreseen 500 ms delay on loading data in explore panes (locals, autos, etc..),
which is needed to have fast stepping.

On my computer the delay is zero, when switching panes.... are you sure you've got last svn update ?
And I've no artifact at all.
I'm on Ubuntu 13.10, gcc 4.8.1 too, and I guess same GDB as yours.
The only difference is that my IDE is compiled WITHOUT Mt.

I compiled upp on without gadgets like "X11 MT SSE2". I also removed all previous compilation objects files. Still not luck. Delay is felt.

I updated ide source files with following command:
svn checkout http://upp-mirror.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/uppsrc/ide


If you want to make additional check I enclose my GDB2_MI2.cpp file.

----------------------------------------
Edit:

Please see 515 line(GDB_MI2.cpp):
Quote:


Sleep(20);


After commenting this line switching between panes back to normal state, but ide crashes. Personally, I think that something must be wrong in Gdb_MI2::ReadGdb(bool wait) method.

Hello Massimo,

It seems that changing retries initial value from "ReadGdb" method to previous value did the trick. (Gdb_MI2.cpp - line 508):

int retries = 4;


insted of

int retries = 3 * 50;


It seems that I have got the latest Ultimate++ version. MT mode does not cause this issue also. Max 3 seconds (3 * 50 * 20) waiting time is explicitly written to the code.

Sincerely,
Klugier

Hi,

ReadGdb blocks, in blocking path, for exactly 3 seconds, so

3*50*20 ms

Which is right, imho, for the 'almosto blocking' path.

This has nothing to do with panes delay.
It's just a way to wait for gdb to answer to a command... normally it responds in less than 20 ms, 3 seconds is a maximum as when gdb returns python exceptions usually it needs almost 1 second to recover.

Again, this has nothing to do with delay in panes switching, which is totally unrelated with gdb communication.

I think you've got some problem with your gdb... but I can't replicate it.

Just to explain you the path:

1) When I send a command to gdb, I wait for response, which is completed when I receive a '(gdb)' string at end.
To be sure to get the response, I put a limit of 3 seconds on it, but as I said, normally it answers in 20 ms or less.

2) Switching panes is totally unrelated, as panes works on cached data, so do not need to issue additional gdb commands.

3) Panes updating happens 500 ms AFTER last gdb command.
So, if you step quickly, panes do not update before you stop stepping.

If you like, you can send me your compiled ide, so I can test it.

ciao

Massimo

Hello Massimo,

I have sent you my ide.

I compiled pure version from Ultimate++ website. It seems that looding time is now OK, but switching between panes while debugging is still slow. When you finished debugging it works at normal speed.

But there is one more big issue. IDE does not automatically close debugg widgets when debugging process is over. In previous builds it worked properly.

Sincerely,
Klugier

Hi,

I've just tested your build, but here it works perfectly.
No lags switching panes (I don't know what do you mean with "while debugging", panes are not there when debugger is not running....) and on application exit the debugger terminates correctly.

Are you SURE that you're running THIS build and not another, installed one on your system ???

Ciao

It seems that gtk backend on KDE cause this issue. When I switch to X11 debug mode closes correctly.

So this is definitly not Gdb_MI2 issue.

How to reproduce?
1. Start debugging.
2. Back to IDE.
3. Try to switch between following panes: Autos, Locals, Watches and Explorer. (Debug mode)
4. Now, you can stop debugging.

Klugier

Ah, I'm not running KDE, I'm on gnome and I've no KDE installed here.... so I can't reproduce.
Anyways, I'm on GTK backend too.

But, I am almost sure that lag between switching panes in debug mode is not KDE related.
