Subject: Re: Scripting ruby-debug

Really simple answer - probably not yet.

However for the version of ruby-debug in SVN when I run this:

  require "rubygems" ; require "ruby-debug"
  require 'stringio'
  Debugger.start
  op = StringIO.new("", "w")
  open("debug.cmds", 'w') {|f| f.puts "help"}
  Debugger.run_script("debug.cmds", op)
  puts op.string

I get:

ruby-debug help v0.9.4
Type 'help <command-name>' for help on a specific command

Available commands:
break  delete  exit  interrupt  pp  putl  reload   save  show
thread
catch  eval    help  p          ps  quit  restart  set   source

And instead of "help" in the string that goes to the command file I
can put in sequences of any of the above commands. I'm not sure why I
don't see all of the debugger commands. However I've used this to
write some simple unit tests for ruby-debug.

And finally, since ruby-debug is largely just Ruby, there's always
monkey patching. :-)
