[gedit-list] integrating my IDE debugger with Gedit

[Kenneth Dakin <kennethdakin yahoo co uk>]

Hello,

I am building an IDE that is essentially a debugger that will display lines of code (m/code, dis-assembled m/code, source or compilerr output).

something like this:-

1. OFFSET   DATA    DIS_ASSEMBLED                              EXEC COUNT

   ------------    ---------    -----------------------------------------------          ----------------------

   000204    xxxxxx    xxx(xxx,Rx),yyy(Ry)..                            5

2. or this:-

   Line number OFFSET  SOURCE                                       EXEC COUNT

   ----------------    ----------    ---------------------------------------            ---------------------

  0023             000204    some source..                                  5

3. or this:-

  Line number    OFFSET  SOURCE                                       EXEC COUNT

   ----------------      ----------    ---------------------------------------            ---------------------

  0023                 000204    first source line                                 5

                          000206    + macro expansion                           5

          current>>>000208    + macro expansion <<<                    5

  00024               00020A    next source line                                0

I am wondering if I could use Gedit in some way to combine source editing (with custom "prettying") , compile listing, and dis-assembled displays. Can I invoke Gedit directly from my C# program (the debugger)  for instance, in the .NET environment, and have Gedit then create editable Forms with the source code - that has (or will be) annotated or modified by my code via exits/hooks.

In other words, does Gedit provide any "hooks" for example, for insertion of additional/replacement rich text (by my code) containing such things as current line execution counts etc?

My program needs to be "in control" from the point of view of which part of a program is visible at any time and yet also "called" on a line by line basis from Qedit to annotate certain lines on-the-fly , ignoring others.

Cheers
