I have not been able to reproduce the "frozen stopwatch" problem
with a set series of steps, but I was able to consistently
generate an error that seems to do the same thing. I was
running insight on the 1.01 version of jikes while doing
the following.
I set a breakpoint at contol.cpp line 549.
I ran the program, and hit the continue button to start it up.
Once I hit the breakpoint, I pressed the step button a couple
of times until I was inside the inlined operator[] C++ method.
At this point I was in the inlined method defined in tuple.h
line 188. I then highlighted a pointer and chose the
"dump memory" option from the drop down list over the selection.
I then clicked the up button on the spin widget next to the
address which generated this Tcl error.
A parse error in expression, near '-1 * 16'
while executing
"gdb_cmd "printf \"%u\", $current_addr + $num * $bytes_pre_row""
(object "::.memwin0.memwin" method "::MemWin::incr_addr" body line 9)
invoked from within
"::.memwin0.memwin incr_addr -1"
("after" script)
errorCode is NONE
When this error is generated, the default Tk error dialog box shows
up to display the error message. Problem is, the error window now
ignored button clicks and key press events. The other insight windows
also ignore key press and mouse events, but the Tk event loop is
still running because the windows still redraw when that get expose
events. I also noticed that if you close the main insight window the
"do you want to stop the debugger (Yes) (No)" dialog shows up.
I was able to get a stack trace from insight while it was stuck,
and it seemed to indicate the Tk_TkwaitCmd was getting called
before the application got stuck.
Here is the stack trace.
