step in debugger?

[Jerry Daniels]

Charles,

In Constellation, when you click "step" and "step into" is not  
checked, it should execute the current line and then, provided the  
line executes, take you to the next line UNLESS you are already to  
the end of the originating handler.

In past versions of Rev IDE, the "step over" would sometimes "step  
out" of the handler entirely and act as if you had clicked "run."  
This happened when stepping over a call to another handler and  
sometimes when stepping over an IF statement.

In 2.61 Rev IDE it would appear that some of this is fixed. I can get  
2.61 to step over calls to handlers at least some of the time, but I  
just tested it and found it "stepped out" when I tried to step over  
an IF statement.

I just tested Constellation on the same script with the same  
breakpoints (Constellation uses the Rev breakpoints). Because  
Constellation is paranoid, it puts "ghost breakpoints" that users  
can't see after every point at which it fears Rev's debug engine will  
try to "step out." It could be that Constellation needs to add a  
ghost somewhere. I would like to find out where (under what  
conditions) we need to add ghosts. It's nearly Halloween, after all.  
<GRIN>

SO...could you send me more info offline? Don't want to clog the list  
with Constellation tech support.

Best,

Jerry
