Good to hear there's some thought going in to it - I'm guessing you'll post some news about that whenever any information can be made public :)

I love reading your posts, even though my specific scenario is rather unorthodox and, by that virtue, unsupported (I'm doing dynamic translation from machine code to IL - which, before someone says anything, works surprisingly well). Learning more about the way the CLR and the debugger works helps me architect my things better. Keep up the amazing work!

Now if only there were a nice way to see what happens in managed/native transitions...

Techniques for Debugging IL

I mentioned in the recent dev lab that you can debug at the IL level . I demoed two ways to do this,

Debugging + LCG

Unfortunately, we don't have improved LCG debugging support in Orcas. We're working on a good solution a the post-orcas release, although I realize that's little consolence for now. My talk listed some workarounds here.

The biggest one is that your code generator can reasonably switch between LCG + Ref.Emit, so have your code generator target Ref.Emit if you want source level debugging. This could be tied to a language's /debug switch.

I believe DLR provides both LCG + Ref.Emit support.

p.s.: I double checked the Zip file and it was working. I created it with Winzip. I'll check around here.

Speaking of LCG debugging, are there plans for making it better? e.g., supporting it? :)

With the new push for language support built on top of LCG, I was hoping we'd hear more about debugging. Any news?

Hi Mike,

It looks like the zip file is corrupt. I can't open it with with Explorer or WinRAR.

Are there any plans to support LCG debugging in Orcas? It would be a shame if none of new new DLR based dynamic languages were debuggable! I think I'm correct in saying the DLR is based on LCG.

Thanks, Jamie.
