Hi, can anyone point me in the direction of an example showing how to build a list of current variables in the call-stack? I need to display (possibly edit) the variables available during the line-callback function as a debugger would. I assume I use GetCallstackFunction, but where to go from there? Thanks, Ciaran.

I have an example of a simple AngelScript debugger here. I haven't updated it to the most recent version yet and it uses .NET bindings, but it should give you an idea of how you can use AngelScript's debugging API.

/test/test_future/test_debug.cpp
it has a simple example. :) hope it will help u.

Though not really recommended as teaching material, you can take a look at the test code that I use: test_debug.

Specifically the function PrintVariables should answer your question.

PS. I'll try to write the page about debugging in the manual soon. :)

[edit]PPS. dxj beat me to the answer :)[/edit]

so nice example.

I have a few questions.

Do you support intellinse system? I tried, not output.

Is that possible we could use your debugger inside our projects? how, I am not so familar with C# projects. :)

Cheers.

Thanks everyone for the help. I'll post the snippet of code here when I get it working.

No, the AngelScript compiler doesn't give enough support to allow using it for code completion and the AngelScript language changes fast enough that maintaining a parallel compiler for code completion is infeasible.

If you want to use the code, feel free, but I don't provide any support for it. It's best used as a sample to create your own code.

so I have it mostly working to registered types and basic value types, but not fully for script classes.
I now have something like this to iterate through a class property set:



I can print the class properties okay, but any ideas on how to get the property values?
I imagine I use GetAddressOfVar or something similar, but for class types.

Thanks again,
Ciaran

Did you try asIScriptObject::GetPropertyPointer()?

Thanks for the hint. I think that function is deprecated now though, and I believe the recommended method is now GetAddressOfProperty.
I'll try that route out.
Cheers.
