Re^2: Debugger line numbering anomaly

In the test code, lines 4 and 5 comprise a substitution operator. With delimiter pairs for the match and replace clauses, the operator allows whitespace between the clauses (with the single ';' terminating the operator on line 5). And, in fact, the code runs in the debugger (and without the debugger) just fine. It's just the debugger that, it seems, isn't parsing the line, and mis-numbering subsequent lines.

I tried again on a Debian Linux, with Perl 5.28.1 and perl5db.pl 1.5.3. It doesn't show the problem. Maybe that's a clue: I can compare perl5db.pl code from the two machines. I'll report back.

again: is the problem reproducible if you copy the code from this thread? did you include `warn` to see if the compilation recorded the right line-numbers? and can you narrow down which code-line is starting the problem? update There are internal arrays which hold all parsed lines of the debugger, you could check there if the debugger got it right. `perldebguts` : Each array @{"_<$filename"} holds the lines of $filename for a file compiled by Perl.

First, I compared (in the programmer's text editor Epsilon) perl5db.pl v 1.5.1 and 1.5.3. Only a few differences; none seems significant to this issue. So I copied the 1.5.3 version to /usr/share/perl/5.26/perl5db.pl on the Xubuntu machine. Same (wrong) debug behavior as with the original 1.5.1 version. Further, the debug command "x @{$main::{'_<t6.pl'}}" is also missing the (original) line 5. This suggests (so far) that it's a Perl 5.26 bug, and not a perl5db.pl bug. Still exploring ... -- Lee	[reply]

well, good luck ignoring the other stuff I asked you to check. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice}	[reply]
