Screenshots demonstrating AmigaOS4 debugging capabilities

[System]

More official screenshots from Hyperion are available at the AmigaWorld.net community portal. These shots demonstrate the debugging capabilities under AmigaOS 4. Two programs are involved in this: The Grim Reaper and gdb.

No screenshot of a Guru Meditation!

I do hope the flashing red box has a colour gradient on it :-)

Looks good, but no mention of the great Guru at all :-(

You'll get a "normal" Guru meditation requester when a program crashes (very similar to what was shown in the presentation). It's got a button "More..." which will drop you into the GUI...

No, but it glows in the dark and giggles when you touch it :-)
(Come to think of it, gradients would be cool, too)

You'll only see Guru's on deadend alerts, though.

Looks promising. I hope the debug output can also be redirected to serial output to catch those annoying software failures that bring the whole system down.

yayay... i gotta say that it looks sweeter all the time.
it's getting a nice tight feeling now.
and those antialiased fonts.. i was staring at the shell win and i SO wanted to run it on my AmigaOne and type something in there, to get the feeling, of just how tight and fast it feels! Can't wait no more, this is killing me!

[DanDude]

Kick *ss!!!    :-D

[Quixote]

:-D This is looking better all the time.  I look forward to its release.

Sweet ...  :-D

Thanks for your comments Rogue.

I would have missed my old friend the Guru ...   ;-)

Yes, you can redirect debug output through the serial port. You can also enable a builtin circular memory buffer, much like Mungfriend, that  can catch the output. There are two hooks in the kernel (getchar and putchar) that are specifically intended for that purpose.

Same here. I like that slightly geeky aspect of AmigaOS (therefore the Grim Reaper got its name - "Crash  Requester" or something like that would be booooring :-)

It's very nice to see one of the weakest link of AmigaOS to be fixed. Good job Thomas and co.
