Qt Script debugging: feedback and suggestions wanted
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
Anyone here using Qt Script in their application? Well, if you do, you
might like to know that
there's a new project on Trolltech Labs, called "Qt Script Debug":
http://labs.trolltech.com/page/Projects/QtScript/QtScriptDebug
The purpose of this project is to experiment with Qt Script-related
debugging tools and APIs. In that regard, if you have any experiences,
thoughts or suggestions in this area, we would like to hear about it. Is
the high-level "pop-up-a-debugger-window, please" approach sufficient
for you (i.e. treating the debugger as a black box), or do you require
some deeper integration? (The goal of Qt Script Debug is to provide
several levels of abstraction wrt application integration, but we are
looking for scenarios to understand those API requirements.)
The code is available from:
svn://labs.trolltech.com/svn/qtscript/qtscriptdebug
Note that you need a Qt 4.4 snapshot to try it.
Best regards,
Kent

I'm not using Qt Script, but I have an own scripting language in our
product, which would also need a nice debugger interface.
So I'm interested in how I can use the debugger widgets _without_ Qt
Script (especially the TextEdit which shows the line numbers,
breakpoints, etc.)
A nice feature for QPlainTextEdit would be to already provide the above
mentioned functionality (code collapsing, breakpoints display, etc.)
out of the box.
I will definitely have a look on your widgets.
