While making the Parrot compiler I note that it's quite complicated to debug a Parrot program, so I made this Parrot debugger, it can be used in 2 ways: * ./pdb programfile (make pdb first) * using the ops in debug.ops (debug_init,debug_load and debug_break) You can use the command 'disassemble' if you don't have the pasm, list the source, set breakpoints, watch the registers and the stack, etc. Still todo: * check the user input for bad commands, it's quite easy to make it bang now, try listing the source before loading or disassembling it. * Print the interpreter info. * Make the user interface better (add comands history/completition). * Some other things I don't remember now because it's late. Enjoy, Daniel Grunblatt.
