New wiki pages on debugging

[Charles]

As seen in the timeline, I have added several wiki pages on debugging. I think you'll find them useful, but they are rather succinct. Please feel free to ask questions here.

Also, please feel free to edit the pages in order to expand them as you learn things!

These pages all start from the new DebuggingTopics wiki page.

Today, or maybe tomorrow, if it's ok with you ( and if I succeed to debug from the command line ) I'll edit the http://cobra-language.com/trac/cobra/wiki/DebuggingSansVisualStudio with a practical example.

[Charles]

That would be great.

I've added an example on how to use Mdbg for debugging here

[Charles]

Thanks. There is also a Mono debugger, mdb, for those of us on Mac and Linux. I'll have to see if the usage and commands coincide.

Where would one get Mdbg from ?

[Gameday]

It comes with Windows SDK. Can be found here

Perhaps I should have asked 'where would one get just Mdbg from'..

The SDK is a 4 GB download, ( unattractive as its about 3 hours to download and 40% of my monthly data cap)
Mdbg itself is about 500kb total (100 kb exe + 2 dlls)


I found a a version in Visual Studio Express Download (C#) the download for that is only about 3 MB.

Not sure where to get only Mdbg. I tried ClrDbg a few days ago, and it seems to behave exactly like Mdbg ( same options, same output ) ... kind of like they're the same tool.
