# The Breakpoint library provides the convenience of
# being able to inspect and modify state, diagnose
# bugs all via IRB by simply setting breakpoints in
# your applications by the call of a method.
#
# This library was written and is supported by me,
# Florian Gross. I can be reached at flgr@ccan.de
# and enjoy getting feedback about my libraries.
#
# The whole library (including breakpoint_client.rb
# and binding_of_caller.rb) is licensed under the
# same license that Ruby uses. (Which is currently
# either the GNU General Public License or a custom
# one that allows for commercial usage.) If you for
# some good reason need to use this under another
# license please contact me.

# This will pop up an interactive ruby session at a
# pre-defined break point in a Ruby application. In
# this session you can examine the environment of
# the break point.
#
# You can get a list of variables in the context using
# local_variables via +local_variables+. You can then
# examine their values by typing their names.
#
# You can have a look at the call stack via +caller+.
#
# The source code around the location where the breakpoint
# was executed can be examined via +source_lines+. Its
# argument specifies how much lines of context to display.
# The default amount of context is 5 lines. Note that
# the call to +source_lines+ can raise an exception when
# it isn't able to read in the source code.
#
# breakpoints can also return a value. They will execute
# a supplied block for getting a default return value.
# A custom value can be returned from the session by doing
# +throw(:debug_return, value)+.
#
# You can also give names to break points which will be
# used in the message that is displayed upon execution
# of them.
#
# Here's a sample of how breakpoints should be placed:
#
# class Person
# def initialize(name, age)
# @name, @age = name, age
# breakpoint("Person#initialize")
# end
#
# attr_reader :age
# def name
# breakpoint("Person#name") { @name }
# end
# end
#
# person = Person.new("Random Person", 23)
# puts "Name: #{person.name}"
#
# And here is a sample debug session:
#
# Executing break point "Person#initialize" at file.rb:4 in `initialize'
# irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):001:0> local_variables
# => ["name", "age", "_", "__"]
# irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):002:0> [name, age]
# => ["Random Person", 23]
# irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):003:0> [@name, @age]
# => ["Random Person", 23]
# irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):004:0> self
# => #<Person:0x292fbe8 @age=23, @name="Random Person">
# irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):005:0> @age += 1; self
# => #<Person:0x292fbe8 @age=24, @name="Random Person">
# irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):006:0> exit
# Executing break point "Person#name" at file.rb:9 in `name'
# irb(#<Person:0x292fbe8>):001:0> throw(:debug_return, "Overriden name")
# Name: Overriden name
#
# Breakpoint sessions will automatically have a few
# convenience methods available. See Breakpoint::CommandBundle
# for a list of them.
#
# Breakpoints can also be used remotely over sockets.
# This is implemented by running part of the IRB session
# in the application and part of it in a special client.
# You have to call Breakpoint.activate_drb to enable
# support for remote breakpoints and then run
# breakpoint_client.rb which is distributed with this
# library. See the documentation of Breakpoint.activate_drb
# for details.

# Will run Breakpoint in DRb mode. This will spawn a server
# that can be attached to via the breakpoint-client command
# whenever a breakpoint is executed. This is useful when you
# are debugging CGI applications or other applications where
# you can't access debug sessions via the standard input and
# output of your application.
#
# You can specify an URI where the DRb server will run at.
# This way you can specify the port the server runs on. The
# default URI is druby://localhost:42531.
#
# Please note that breakpoints will be skipped silently in
# case the DRb server can not spawned. (This can happen if
# the port is already used by another instance of your
# application on CGI or another application.)
#
# Also note that by default this will only allow access
# from localhost. You can however specify a list of
# allowed hosts or nil (to allow access from everywhere).
# But that will still not protect you from somebody
# reading the data as it goes through the net.
#
# A good approach for getting security and remote access
# is setting up an SSH tunnel between the DRb service
# and the client. This is usually done like this:
#
# $ ssh -L20000:127.0.0.1:20000 -R10000:127.0.0.1:10000 example.com
# (This will connect port 20000 at the client side to port
# 20000 at the server side, and port 10000 at the server
# side to port 10000 at the client side.)
#
# After that do this on the server side: (the code being debugged)
# Breakpoint.activate_drb("druby://127.0.0.1:20000", "localhost")
#
# And at the client side:
# ruby breakpoint_client.rb -c druby://127.0.0.1:10000 -s druby://127.0.0.1:20000
#
# Running through such a SSH proxy will also let you use
# breakpoint.rb in case you are behind a firewall.
#
# Detailed information about running DRb through firewalls is
# available at http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?DrbTutorial
