Subject: Better UDebugger 1.1 - Debugging power for CodeWarriors
(Version 1.1 fixes an error in the included resources.)
This is really nothing spectacular but I haven't seen or heard
of anything like it so here it is.
What:
Better UDebugger is a patch for PowerPlant 1.1 (CW6). It's
includes this document, an altered "PP DebugAlerts.rsrc" and a
patch for "UDebugger.cp".
How:
Replace the "PP DebugAlerts.rsrc" found in the PowerPlant
Resources folder inside your PowerPlant Libraries folder and
apply the patch to "UDebugger.cp" found inside the Utility
Classes folder. The patch is an UpdateMaker document and the
application can be found on your CodeWarrior CD. UpdateMaker
should be on your HD so just open the patch. To see the
changes you have to use debugAction_Alert by adding these two
lines to your main():
SetDebugThrow_(debugAction_Alert);
SetDebugSignal_(debugAction_Alert);
Why:
After "installation" you'll be given more options everytime an
exception or signal occurs. You'll be able to quit the program
(great when you're caught in a loop or just want to go home and
never program again), break into the debugger (great when you
want more info and track those critters down) or just continue
("I didn't see that...").
Maybe not the greatest hack in the world but hey, it made me
smile a couple of times.
