Author here. Yes, only one goroutine is paused at a time. I'm planning to add commands to show and jump between goroutines. Still sketching those out, though. Do you think it would be helpful to have multiple goroutines paused by the debugger at once?
- dvirsky 11y agoI'd like to be able to completely pause all goroutines and slowly analyze the state of each one. You can probably just add some mutex or waitgroup to your line() method and just lock it when a goroutine pauses, no?
- jschlatter 11y agoYeah, that should be relatively easy to do. We would just skip the "am I the goroutine under the debugger" check here [1] and add some kind of channel communication here [2]. The hardest thing is probably just the UI. How should that functionality work? I'm imagining something like this: >>> pause all All goroutines paused >>> show goroutines 1: foo.go:16 2: foo.go:24 3. bar.go:10 [current] >>> next -> // some code from goroutine 3 >>> goroutine 2 Now tracing goroutine 2. Current location: /* Code listing from goroutine 2's current location */ >>> next -> // some code from goroutine 2 Is this the kind of interface you were imagining?

- dvirsky 11y agoYep, something like gdb's threads interface.
- andrewchambers 11y agoIn a well behaved program, all theads should probably be synchronized by mutexes/channels etc, so pausing one thread, should in theory pause all related ones. I think one is fine for now.
