# GDB will automatically load this module when you attach to the binary moar.
# but first you'll have to tell gdb that it's okay to load it. gdb will instruct
# you on how to do that.
# If it doesn't, you may need to copy or symlink this script right next to the
# moar binary in install/bin.
#
#     cd /path/to/install/bin
#     ln -s path/to/moarvm/tools/moar-gdb.py

# If you're developing/extending/changing this script, or if you're getting
# python exception messages, this command will be very helpful:
#
#    set python print-stack full

# This script contains a few helpers to make debugging MoarVM a bit more pleasant.
#
# So far, there's:
#
# - A semi-functional pretty-printer for MVMString and MVMString*
# - A non-working pretty-printer for MVMObject in general
# - A command "moar-heap" that walks the nursery and gen2 and displays
#   statistics about the REPRs found in them, as well as a display of
#   the fragmentation of the gen2 pages.
# - A command "diff-moar-heap" that diffs (so far only) the two last
#   snapshots of the nursery, or whatever snapshot number you supply
#   as the argument.

# Here's the TODO list:
#
# - Figure out if the string pretty-printer is hosed wrt. ropes or if
#   it's something wrong with MaarVM's ropes in general.
# - Implement diffing for the gen2 in some sensible manner
# - The backtrace should also display a backtrace of the interpreter
#   state. That's relatively easy, as you can just dump_backtrace(tc).
# - Give the object prety printer a children method that figures
#   stuff out about attributes of a P6opaque, or CStruct.
# - Let VMArray and MVMHash be displayed with the right display_hint
#   and also give them values for the children method
# - Pretty print P6bigint as their value
# - Pretty print P6int and P6num as their value

# Here's some wishlist items
#
# - Offer an HTML rendering of the stats, since gdb insists on printing
#   a pager header right in between our pretty gen2 graphs most of the time
