I ran "insight -nx", then I click "View"->"Registers".  I get a message
box "Quit this debugging session?", and then "Create a core file for
GDB?".  If I say no to both, then the register window does open, with no
values.

Ok, that's it. That's the bug I just "fixed":

2003-02-11  Keith R Seitz  <keiths@redhat.com>

        * generic/gdbtk-register.c (register_changed_p): If the selected
        frame is NULL, do not call frame_register_read, since that will
        now cause an internal error.

Ok, I'm now running "2003-02-15-cvs (cygwin-special)" from the cygwin 
net binary release.  The problem associated with opening the registers 
window is gone, but I still cannot launch insight without "-nx".

Hmm. Do you have this patch?

2003-02-14  Keith Seitz  <keiths@redhat.com>

        From Chris Faylor <cgf@redhat.com>:
        * generic/gdbtk-main.c (main): Initialize args.interpreter_p.

If so, could you explain to me what happens when it doesn't start? (I'm
building a cygwin version now, but it'll take several hours.)

Well, I don't know for sure, but since it was Chris who released the 
cygwin version on the 15th, I suspect that he included his own patch.

It does 0.8 seconds of absolutely nothing (no text output, no error 
message, nothing), then terminates.

I can duplicate this.  I don't know what I was doing when I "tested"
this net release but it fails miserably to debug anything.  How
embarrassing.

The problem is that uiout is being set to NULL in interp_set() because
that is what is stored in the interpreter structure set up in
_initialize_gdbtk.

I've included a patch below.  I made it as minimal as possible so
that it is obvious what I did.  It may make more sense to move
gdbtk_init later in the code and include the static definition of
tk_procs into it.

Boy, this interp stuff sure screwed things up.  Aren't we supposed to
not severely break existing functionality when we check in new gdb
features?

Ugh. So we're stuck for a little while... I think I am going to apply my
patch, which includes a nice argv0 hack, but when I address in gdb, I

FWIW, I just built a linux version of insight and it dies in the same

I tried out cygwin "gdb-20030218-1", and on my machine, running it as 
"insight -nx" is now usable, but running it without "-nx" still acts the 
same as it has for the past few versions (does nothing).  I checked, and 
I don't have any of the .gdbinit files (or anything that insight tries 
to read on startup).

You don't have a .gdbtkinit/gdbtk.ini? "-nx" suppresses the reading of
.gdbinit/gdb.ini and .gdbtkinit/gdbtk.ini.

You may have to resort to running insight under gdb and setting a break
on exit, inspecting the backtrace to find out why insight isn't
starting.

Here's my hidden home files:

I don't have a copy of insight that has debug symbols in it, so I can't 
run it under gdb.  And I'm not in a position right now to download the 
source and compile that.  I did post an strace of a run a while back though.

FYI,

Removing from _initialize*() is wrong.  Interpreters should only be 
registered in _initialize*() function.

I think the underlying problem is general confusion over the separation 
of powers between interp_add() and interp_init().

BTW, even with that NULL, it worked for me.  Is there something cygwin 
centric going on?

Don't see how it could be.  interp_set does this:

  uiout = interp->interpreter_out;

So, at some point uiout becomes NULL.  I wiped out my old non-working version
so I can't give the specific instance right now but it seems obvious that this
could happen.  If you set interpreter_out to NULL and call interp_set at some
point then uiout will be NULL.

The call which sets uiout to NULL is in captured_main, line 559.  Just typing
"insight foo.exe" was enough for me to trigger the problem.  You can also see
it if you type "insight" (which brings up a window) and then do a "File->Open".

And, at least on my machine, just running "insight" without any 
parameters causes problems.

I don't know.  Probably didn't use it in anger.

I think the underlying problem is with interp_add().  It shouldn't
even take that ui-out parameter.  Instead the ui-out should be set
using some other mechanism (interp_init()?).

And I'll be committing a patch Real Soon Now (TM) to whack init_ui_hook

For giggles, can you search your drives for "gdbtk.ini", ".gdbtkinit",
".gdbinit", and "gdb.ini"? There must be something going on with
preferences.

When you start up insight -nx, open a Console Window and type "tk set
::env(HOME)", what does it return? Is there a startup file in that
directory?

I checked my whole hard-drive, and there where no files of those names.

Fudge. I cannot image what the problem is, since this works for me and
several other people.

Let's try one of two things (you pick):
1) I can send you/put up for ftp my copy of the Insight executable
2) You can send me/put up for ftp your copy of the insight executable

(Remind me again -- where did you get insight? The cygwin gdb package
that was released yesterday?)

Oops, replace "where no files of those names" with "was a gdbtk.ini in 
/home/rcampbell, I deleted it and insight now works fine".  It never 
occured to me to look for a ".ini" file.

Cool. Had me really worried there for a moment. I don't know why we use
gdbtk.ini on windows, either. I think some Nazi management at Cygnus
crammed it down our throats. We really ought to just add some code to
change it to .gdbtkinit or .insightrc...

FWIW, I changed gdb to use .gdbinit instead of gdb.ini a while ago, so
there's some precedent there.

gdb issues a warning if it finds a gdb.ini now.
