Debugging API... standalone? documented? where?
Like some of you, I keep tabs on MacRuby and nu. I showed the nu guys this quote from the 0.6 release: "An interesting feature of the debugger is that it has been abstracted into a simple Objective-C API, of which macrubyd is just one client. In the future we might see other clients." [1] Tim Burks (created nu) wrote back:
Can you point out a link to the simple Objective-C API" that Laurent mentioned? Do we have to pull it from the MacRuby source?
What's the story? Thanks Clay

Yes, it's in the MacRuby source, for now. Look at the MacRubyDebuggerConnector.h header file. Note that this API is to control the MacRuby debugger. macrubyd is a command-line executable which connects to the MacRuby debugger using this API. I am not sure if this API would be interesting to Nu, unless it's about creating a Nu-based debugger for MacRuby apps. Laurent
