xgdb not stable (und Mac OS X??)

Post by Interactive_Matter »

Hi,

I am currently trying to do some long term debugging with XDE (long term= not right in the setup code). There is an annoying feature:

After some time xgdb stops talking to the XMOS or the XDE.

The behaviour is quite strange:

The XDE is still completely convinced that the debugger is still running. But stoping it or closing the connection to the debugger does exactly nothing. At the same time it tells me that there is no line at dunnowhat if I want to set a break point.

Sometimes everything is normal after I kill the xgdb process.
Sometimes I have to restart the XDE

But I cannot debug longer than some seconds on my machine - and this sucks (or put it the other way - the debugging was so convenient that I really do not want to lose that feature)

I am using OS X Lion (10.7.1) with XDE 11.2.

Does anybody else have aseen this problem on any other platform?
My impression is that it got worse since some weeks. I do not know if it is because XDE 11.2 instead of 10.4 or because of OS X 10.7 vs 10.6

Is there any kind of log file I could check to see why the connection is broken?

I really appreciate any help since the debugging feature is vital to my development speed.

Thanks

Marcus
