IronRuby & Microsoft.Scripting.Debugging

Hello,

What is the current plan for supporting Microsoft.Scripting.Debugging
in IronRuby? I’d like to implement ruby-debug-base, so I may
eventually get to ruby-debug-ide (IR support in RubyMine, woot!).

Could IronRuby perhaps expose an ITracePipeline instance? That alone*
would provide most of the debug functionality needed (set next line,
trace callbacks). Peeking into the scope could easily accomplished
using the RubyContext, I think.

Should I open a ticket on CodePlex for this? I couldn’t find anything
related using the search.

  • Of course, IronRuby would also have to use a DebugContext instance
    to rewrite the expression trees to make them debuggable, among other
    things. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be a lot of work :slight_smile:

There is no plan for that other than that we want to do that at some
point :slight_smile:

Cool :slight_smile:
