"GDB" style source level debugging for P2 C - a work in progress.

Demo of techniques for setting traps/breakpoints in C programs compiled under Flex GUI. Preliminary. Try it!!!

"Application" is a number base conversion program that can handle ridiculous input like 5661654161651461616541611 and convert to/from "any" base, such as base 2, base 16, decimal time, base 137 or whatever. See what happens when you enter 3.14159 when it asks for INTEGER input.

Now about those pesky primes or those billion digits of pi???? Hmmmmm.

    You might want to add "#include <string.h>" to make sure this compiles in flexgui for everyone...

    O.K. added string.h for compatibility reasons, even though the original code did not appear to need it. Continuing to work on disassembler, and other functions. Usage is pretty simple. Just add some macros and functions to your code as needed so that you can try to figure out what is going on when things get really strange. Stack traces are actually very helpful here.
    Essentially adding something like this to your code will enable the creation of the needed trap variables and breakpoints.

    _TRACE_DEBUG_(TRAP,0xdeadbeef)
    _BREAK_DEBUG_("chartobase36(char c)",__LINE__,&TRAP);
