All,
I'd like to remove the BugSpot front end from SA in an effort to clean up the SA code and reduce the number of implementations. My understanding is that BugSpot was intended as a more general native debugger not only focused on the JVM, but that it was never fully implemented. I don't think there is a need for a general-purpose debugger in SA.
The features that will change are:
- BugSpot graphical UI will be removed
- PStack and PMap will no longer be able to operate on executables other than the JVM
- Some code only referenced from BugSpot will be removed
Does anyone know of a reason this is not a good idea? I don't have the full history of SA nor all the use cases so I would appreciate feedback.
Thanks, /Staffan
