From MSX Game Library
< Modules
The debug module offers features to create interaction between a running program and a debug device (generally, an emulator) to help programmers to debug their program.
Usage
To use this module, include "debug.h" in your source code, and add "debug" to the modules list (LibModules) in your project's configuration file (project_config.js).
Samples
See module use cases in the sample programs:
- s_swtile (MSX2 sample that interact with debug device)
Settings
Library configuration (msxgl_config.h):
// Debugger and profiler options // - DEBUG_DISABLE ................ No debug or profile feature // - DEBUG_EMULICIOUS ............. Debug features for Emulicious // - DEBUG_OPENMSX ................ Debug features for openMSX using 'debugdevice' extension // - DEBUG_OPENMSX_P .............. Debug features for openMSX using PVM script (tools/script/openMSX/debugger_pvm.tcl) // - DEBUG_OPENMSX_G .............. Profiler features for openMSX using Grauw script (tools/script/openMSX/profiler_grauw.tcl) // - DEBUG_OPENMSX_S .............. Profiler features for openMSX using Salutte script (tools/script/openMSX/profiler_salutte.tcl) #define DEBUG_TOOL DEBUG_DISABLE #define PROFILE_LEVEL 10
When DEBUG_DISABLE is set to DEBUG_OPENMSX_P, you also need to setup additionnal emulator command line in your project configuration (project_config.js):
//-- Emulator extra parameters to be add to command-line (string). Emulator sotfware specific
EmulExtraParam= `-script ${ToolsDir}script/openMSX/debugger_pvm.tcl`;
