willox/auxtools

Rust library for low-level interfacing with BYOND's virtual machine. Includes a remote debugger for the BYOND DreamMaker language.

auxtools's Issues

Certain files can not call libauxmos

Ive tried to find a way to redirect it yet it still cant call libauxmos

Breakpoints need to be removed on disconnect

atm if you attach (not launch) and then disconnected, the server will spam debug output every time it hits the old breakpoints

an error in auxtools_init should prevent future auxtools_init calls from doing stuff

atm it can result in weird stuff such as populate_procs being called multiple times

Feature Request: Alphabetize variables in the debugger

It's quite annoying searching for variables currently, having to scroll through potentially hundreds of variables to find the one you're looking for.
It looks like it's currently grouped by inheritance from the type, but that doesn't really help when you're debugging mob/carbon/human or something and trying to find a mob/-scope var.
Even then, it's not even alphabetized within the type scope:

Windows Signatures for 515.1602

I am bad at Rust, and do not feel like fiddling with this enough to implement it properly.

Here are Windows signatures for 515.1602.

call_proc_by_id is not a with_scanner_by_call signature anymore, I couldn't get one to generate, so if someone else wants to make a new one or you can just change what it uses for 1602.

Cannot debug procs using /database/query

/proc/enable_debugging(mode, port)
	CRASH("auxtools not loaded")

/proc/auxtools_stack_trace(msg)
	CRASH(msg)

var/early_init/early_init = new
/early_init/New()
	init_debugger()

/proc/init_debugger()
	var/auxtools_path = world.GetConfig("env", "AUXTOOLS_DEBUG_DLL")

	if(fexists(auxtools_path))
		call(auxtools_path, "auxtools_init")()
		enable_debugging()

/client/verb/stuff()
	..()

	var/database/db = new("mydb.db")
	var/database/query/q = new("SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE name=?", "test")

	if(q.Execute(db) && q.NextRow())
		return q.GetRowData()

Put this in a new project, enable BYOND's debugging, place a breakpoint on the line with var/database/query/q.
Attempting to step through it will result in the process hanging. This is in the output console:

Debug Server: "Pausing execution (reason: Breakpoint)"
Debug Server: "Pausing execution (reason: Step)"
[main] Error responding to "variables": timed out waiting for response
Debug client disconnected
Debug server thread finished
[main] Error responding to "stepIn": timed out waiting for response
[main] Error responding to "continue": timed out waiting for response

Feature Request: auxcov support for branch hits in the output

We can do it, we have the technology.

Feature Request: Reference tracking

Extools had an ability to get forwards and backward references to an object, for debugging hard Dels.

It would be wonderful if auxtools had this same functionality.

Libraries using auxtools are not able to call procs that the libraries themselves are hooked into, but only on linux.

Just as title says, any libraries using auxtools can't call procs that they hook into, but only for linux. If you have proc A, and your program hooks into it, then you can't call that proc from your program anymore if you're hosting on linux.

1616 sigs don't work

On Windows:

Welcome BYOND! (5.0 Beta Version 515.1616)
auxtools_init: FAILED (FAILED (Couldn't find execute_instruction))

tests fail on 514.1560

(only checked on windows)

This is a worry for later :)

versions that do succeed:

513.1537
513.1542
514.1586
514.1589

Code seems to have alot of warnings when compiled. dont know if this happens to everyone else but it keeps saying some strings are dead
