insight bug

[Tom Tromey]

Here's an insight bug: if I introduce a Tcl bug into the insight
startup process, I get a blank window but nothing else.  It would be
nice if Insight fully died and printed the Tcl stack trace to stderr.

Is there an Insight Gnats database?  Does it share the gdb Gnats
database?  If so, should I report bugs there?  If not, do we want a
Gnats database?  I can make one with little trouble.

My feeling is that it would be best to use the gdb database if the gdb
maintainers are willing.  Whether or not they will be, I don't know.

[ Ok, I looked, and the gdb Gnats database only has a single "gdb"
category.  So I guess Insight doesn't use it.  Should someone ask the
gdb maintainers if we can make an insight category?  I can do the work
once I have the authorization... ]

Insight has a separate database:

http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=insight

It probably would make sense to just add an insight category to gdb's
GNATS database but, for now, it might be expedient to keep them
separate.

Hey, how did I miss this?  I even looked on sourceware for it... sigh.

I understand.

FYI I gave myself write access to the Insight Gnats database.  If this
offends you, complain.

Not at all.  You are welcome (back).

Hey, I am back

[Fernando Nasser]

You may have noticed that I have been somewhat absent from the list on
the last 3 weeks.

I had to do some other type of work (something I was doing before with a
simulator and that now became real hardware) but now I am back.

I would like to thank all the people who have been answering questions and
keeping the list alive during this time.

Thank you very much.

P.S.: I am still trying to catch up with things and remember where I was.
      Fell free to remind me of anything I may have forgotten.

It would be nice (at least when it is started from a console).

Yes.  Just follow the Insight link in sources.redhat.com  and go to
the Bugs section.

We do have it.  There are about 60 bugs reported, many of them already
closed.  

I work on answer the PR whenever I can (I was always from Insight work these
last three weeks, but I expect to be back into it as of this Wednesday).

I looked at gdbtk/library/main.tcl and found that I can set
GDBTK_DEBUGFILE to `stdout' or a file name and log messages, including
errors, will go there.

`stderr' doesn't work.  Patch to follow shortly.

[Tom Tromey]

I got a Tcl stack trace in the console window when I ran gdb just now.
It is appended.

I'm running it on a Java program.  One weirdness is that gcj-built
Java programs don't have a real main().  Instead, gcj creates a main()
at link time and then deletes the corresponding source.

Tom,

You have reported this bug before in numerous guises.  It is the one
bug I really want to fix over the next week.  I had hoped to be able
to rewrite this whole module, it badly needs it, but looks like I have
to find the right sized bandage instead.
