Interface DebuggerExtender
- All Superinterfaces:
- DebuggerListener, java.util.EventListener
-
public interface DebuggerExtender
- extends DebuggerListener
A DebuggerExtender can modify and enhance certain functionalities of a Debugger. Use the Debugger method: DebuggerExtenderCallback addDebuggerExtender( DebuggerExtender extender ); to add a DebuggerExtender to a Debugger. The existing DebuggerListener interface, from which DebuggerExtender derives, provides callbacks for some basic Debugger events, such as start, stop, resume, finish

-
- Returns:
- The unique ID of this DebuggerExtender which should not be null
breakpointsLoaded
void breakpointsLoaded()

newDebugSession
void newDebugSession(Context context)
- Called by the debugger before a new debug session is started on the incoming context. This is an excellent time to add breakpoints relevant to the new debug sessions or delete non-relevant breakpoints
-
- Parameters:
context
- The context for the new debug session
debuggeeStoppedAtBreakpoint
void debuggeeStoppedAtBreakpoint(Context context,
DebuggerBreakpoint breakpoint)

-
- Parameters:
context
- The context of the debug session
breakpoint
- The breakpoint where the debuggee stopped, which is guaranteed to be a breakpoint belonging to this DebuggerExtender
breakpointAdded
void breakpointAdded(DebuggerBreakpoint breakpoint)
- Called by the Debugger when a breakpoint has been added. This can be a breakpoint previously added by the DebuggerExtenderCallback, or a breakpoint loaded from disk, or a breakpoint created by the user.
-
- Parameters:
breakpoint
- A breakpoint which is guaranteed to be a breakpoint belonging to this DebuggerExtender
breakpointChanged
void breakpointChanged(DebuggerBreakpoint breakpoint,
DebuggerBreakpoint.BreakpointState newState)

- The context of the debug session if there is an active debug session, otherwise null
breakpoint
- The breakpoint, which is guaranteed to be a breakpoint belonging to this DebuggerExtender
- Returns:
- False if the action to show the location of this breakpoint should be disabled, true otherwise
showBreakpointLocation
boolean showBreakpointLocation(Context context,
DebuggerBreakpoint breakpoint)
- Called by the debugger when the user double-clicks on a previously added breakpoint. This gives the DebuggerExtender the chance to display the visuals that represent the place where the debuggee would stop. This is not the time to display any execution point, but instead any relevant breakpoints should be displayed with their state
-
- Parameters:
context
- The context of the debug session if there is an active debug session, otherwise null
breakpoint
- The breakpoint, which is guaranteed to be a breakpoint belonging to this DebuggerExtender
- Returns:
- True if the DebuggerExtender successfully showed the location of the breakpoint, false if the DebuggerExtender wants the Debugger to show the location instead
canShowIPLocation
boolean canShowIPLocation(Context context,
DebuggerBreakpoint breakpoint)
- Called by the debugger when the debuggee is stopped at a previously added breakpoint. The debugger is asking if the DebuggerExtender will display all visuals to represent the stopped debuggee (IP) location, including the execution point. There are several situations where this method can be called: - the first time the debuggee stops at a previously added breakpoint - any time the user executes the 'show IP' action when the debuggee is stopped at a previously added breakpoint - any time the user clicks on the top frame of the current stack when the debuggee is stopped at a previously added breakpoint
-
- Parameters:
context
- The context of the debug session
breakpoint
- The breakpoint where the debuggee is stopped, which is guaranteed to be a breakpoint belonging to this DebuggerExtender
- Returns:
- True if the DebuggerExtender will display the IP location. False if the debugger should display the IP location
showIPLocation
boolean showIPLocation(Context context,
DebuggerBreakpoint breakpoint)
- Called by the debugger when the debuggee is stopped at a previously added breakpoint. The debugger is giving the DebuggerExtender the chance to display all visuals to represent the stopped debuggee (IP) location, including the execution point. There are several situations where this method can be called: - the first time the debuggee stops at a previously added breakpoint - any time the user executes the 'show IP' action when the debuggee is stopped at a previously added breakpoint - any time the user clicks on the top frame of the current stack when the debuggee is stopped at a previously added breakpoint
-
- Parameters:
context
- The context of the debug session
breakpoint
- The breakpoint where the debuggee is stopped, which is guaranteed to be a breakpoint belonging to this DebuggerExtender
- Returns:
- True if the DebuggerExtender successfully rendered the IP location, false if for some reason the DebuggerExtender failed to render the IP location (e.g. an Exception), and the debugger will attempt to render the IP location instead.
setEvaluator
void setEvaluator(Context context,
DebuggerEvaluator evaluator)
- Called after the debuggee has stopped and the stack window is refreshed. Will be called after the 'showIPLocation' call. If the DebuggerExtender needs access to an evaluator during the rendering, it should delay that rendering till after setEvaluator is called. The first time this is called (after the debuggee has stopped), the stackFrameIndex will always be 0 (zero), and the thread will be the 'stopped' thread. Each time the user changes stackframe or thread, this method will be called again with a new Evaluator, valid for that thread and stackframe. Evaluators are keyed to a particular stop, thread and stackframe and will be expired in any other situation. Don't hold on to expired evaluators. Let them be garbage collected after each 'resume' and 'finish'.
-
- Parameters:
context
- The context of the debug session
evaluator
- An evaluator that can be used during this debuggee stop.
stepOver
DebuggerBreakpoint stepOver(Context context,
DebuggerBreakpoint breakpoint)
- Called when the debugger will execute a StepOver command. Allows the DebuggerExtender to modify the semantics of 'StepOver' issued at a certain breakpoint. StepOver cannot be disabled by DebuggerExtenders since it is part of standard stepping functionality. The DebuggerExtender can either change a StepOver command into a run to a temporary breakpoint or into a resume.
-
- Parameters:
context
- The context of the debug session
breakpoint
- The breakpoint where the debuggee is stopped, which is guaranteed to be a breakpoint belonging to this DebuggerExtender
- Returns:
- A DebuggerBreakpoint (implemented by the DebuggerExtender) if the DebuggerExtender wants the debugger to attempt to run to this breakpoint. Return null if the DebuggerExtender wants the debugger to just resume. There is no guarantee that the debuggee will indeed make its next stop at the returned breakpoint, since any other breakpoint can be hit first instead. The returned breakpoint is a temporary, invisible breakpoint which is automatically deleted at the end of this command
canStepOver
boolean canStepOver(Context context,
DebuggerBreakpoint breakpoint)
- Called by the debugger to determine if the DebuggerExtender wants to override the StepOver behavior. StepOver cannot be disabled, since it is part of standard stepping functionality. However, the DebuggerExtender can choose to override StepOver OR let the debugger do a default StepOver action. Overriding StepOver can be done by requesting the debugger to run to a temporary breakpoint, or by requesting the debugger to resume. This method can be called several times after the debuggee stops at a breakpoint. The debugger guarantees to call this method after the setEvaluator call, so if this DebugExtender needs evaluator services for this method, it should ignore this method till after the setEvaluator call.
-
- Parameters:
context
- The context of the debug session
breakpoint
- The breakpoint where the debuggee is stopped, which is guaranteed to be a breakpoint belonging to this DebuggerExtender
- Returns:
- True if the DebuggerExtender wants to override the StepOver action, false if the DebuggerExtender wants the debugger to execute a default StepOver action.

Return null if the DebuggerExtender wants the debugger to perform the normal StepInto command. There is no guarantee that the debuggee will indeed make its next stop at the returned breakpoint, since any other breakpoint can be hit first instead. The returned breakpoint is a temporary, invisible breakpoint which is automatically deleted at the end of this command

DebuggerBreakpoint breakpoint)
- Called when the debugger determines if stepInto is allowed at a breakpoint. Allows the DebuggerExtender to disable stepInto at a breakpoint This method can be called several times after the debuggee stops at a breakpoint.
