Re: Insight 5.0 and GDB 5.0

[Jim Ingham]

Eray,

The fact that on SOME versions of XFree86 using X Input methods really slows Tk down, particularly if there are lots of sub-windows, has been reported numerous times on the Tcl newsgroup.  One of the features for 8.4 is a runtime switch in Tk that can turn off the X Input method support - rather than compile-time as it now is...  It does not affect all versions of XFree86, however, and it doesn't affect most other X Servers.  Sounds like you drew a low card here - sigh.  Your best choice for now is to comment the defined for input methods out in the Tk sources, and rebuild...

Sorry...

Jim

Re: debugging a program that takes command line args

[Jim Ingham]

Adam,

Go to the Target Settings panel (look under the File menu on the Source window).  Set the target to "exec".  Then you will get an "args" entry box in the target settings.  Type your arguments in the Run window, and you are good to go.

The non-gui way to do it, is to bring up the console window, and type

(gdb) set args whatever

Then run as normal.

Hope  this helps,

Jim

No, it did make some dialogues and GUI events apparently faster.
It seems to have less overhead when doing GUI now, but still
the look&feel is not as good as on windows.

Thanks,

debugging a program that takes command line args

[Adam Schuetze]

Hi all,

I'd like to be able to use insight to debug programs that take
command line arguements, but I cannot discover how to do this.

I have tried things like:

gdb test_program arg1 arg2 arg3

but the args are ignored.

How is this done?

thanks,
