Subject: source window stops displaying executing code
Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 14:15:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20001103141152.B1650@alpha.adam-schuetze.org> (raw)

Hi all,

I have come across an odd problem/wierdness with Insight.  I am
using Insight 5.0, released May 2000.  I have not tried any of
the snapshots, as I managed to get the original source to
compile (with some help from Fernando, thanks Fernando!).

I will try to explain what is going on in words; for
clarification (screen shots) you can go to

Ok.  So I'm running a small program (I'm taking a c++ oo course,
beginner style).  If I am stepping through line by line, and I
step off the end of the program, the source window blanks out,
and the dialog at the bottom says it is looking at 
"libc-start.c", but the source code window is blank.

Perhaps of importance, when I place the cursor over the source
window, the cursor changes to a small "watch". 

If I do another "n", the console display shows that my program
has exited properly, but the source file name window still says
it is looking at libc-start.c, even though it is blank.

If I do a "run" in the console window, the console window shows
that my program has restarted, and the "current variables"
window shows variables that I recognize as being in main() in my
program, but the current file name source code window is still
stuck on libc-start.c, even though it shows the program is now
in the function main(). So I can't see what is going on, as I
step through the program now. 

If I try to change the "current file name" back to my program,
it gives me an error message:

Error: invalid command name
".srcwin().srcwin.container.pane1.childsite.con.p.pane4.childsite.st.lf.childsite.clipper.text"

I am unable to get myself out of this mess without exiting from
insight, and re-running it.

Am I overlooking something here?  What is the "libc-start.c"
business about?  

This is not fatal, but it is annoying :)  Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
