LimLim - Simple Lua editor and debugger

LimLim is small simple but useful debugger for Lua programming language.

Capabilities

• Stepping
• Variable introspection
• Table debugging
• Locals and globals view
• Stack traceback
• Executing from console with arguments
• Specify paths to LimDebug module and LimDebug controller

Dependancies

• Qt 4.7.2
• Lua 5.1
• QScintilla 6.1.0

Installation

• qmake LimLim.pro
• make (or mingw32-make for windows)

Future work

• Add QScintilla features.
  • find/replace
  • bind toolbar buttons to qscintilla
  • changing of appearance (monospace font)
• project managment (file tree at side of LimLim)
• remove " from field values of tables (not so easy as i thought)
• add feature that user can change values of introspected values
• add gui widget for breakpoints and watchpoints
• debugging is slow (on windows is SLOW - i think doesn't have so quick process input/output managment like unix systems), program would need complete change of debugger
  • i think saving Lua states to XML file and sending directly to Qt application would be ideal
  • lua debugger have to remeber, which values needs to send main program
  • main program would send complex orders to Lua debugger with executable lua codes or XML
