Debugger for MUMPS (M) GT.M / YottaDB

Language-Support and Debugger for Yottadb / GT.M

This is a language support for Mumps (M) running on Yottadb/GT.M It includes a debugger, syntax check and the syntax-highlighting module by David Silin with some minor improvements

Using mumps-debug

• Install the mumps-debug extension in VS Code.

• Put the MDEBUG.m Routine in your M-Program-Directory and start it.

• Edit the launch.json and set hostname of the host MDEBUG runs on.

• Maybe change Port in launch.json and in MDEBUG.m if Port 9000 isn't useable.

• Also set the localRoutinesPath to map the directory on your VS Code machine to the machine where MDEBUG.m runs.

• Open a M-Program you want to debug in VS Code and start debugging via "F5"

• New in Version 0.8.0: Press Ctrl-E to toggle between long and short Command-Format

• New in Version 1.0.0: Variables are checked for correct NEWing.

If you don't want some or all variables to be checked you can change this in Settings->Settings->Extensions->mumps-debug Example: Variables Y,Y1,YDATE,X are constants you don't want to NEW you put in the settings above: Y.*,X If you want to disable this check only in one file, just add a comment line: ;ignoreVars:abc,def.*

If you discover problems please send a bug report on the github-page.
