Synchronization with PyDev.Debugger

The sources in this folder are PyCharm version of the debugger PyDev.Debugger_. They should be in sync, so after testing all commits should be back-ported to the original repo.

.. _PyDev.Debugger: https://github.com/fabioz/PyDev.Debugger.git

How to do it?

a) You should have PyDev.Debugger repo clone and fetch there IDEA commits related to this folder with changed paths from python/pydev/* to * b) Then cherry-pick all necessary commits resolving merge conflicts

Steps:

git clone https://github.com/fabioz/PyDev.Debugger.git
<clone IDEA Community repo>

and in this folder: 3) git remote rm origin 4) git tag -l | xargs git tag -d 5) git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter python/helpers/pydev --prune-empty --index-filter 'SHA=$(git write-tree); rm $GIT_INDEX_FILE && git read-tree --prefix= $SHA' -- --all in PyDev.Debugger folder: 6) git remote add temp-repo <path/to/idea/folder> 7) git fetch temp-repo 8) Cherry-pick all the changes

Note about C Files

PyCharm does not ship with pre-built Cython extensions for Linux. Instead, the extensions are built on site. The mentioned C files are:

pydevd_cython.c from _pydevd_bundle
pydevd_frame_evaluator.c from _pydevd_frame_eval package.

The latter is version-specific. The variants for different Python versions live in _pydevd_frame_eval/cython. The compatible Cython module will be picked up during the build process.

Cython generates C files but they aren't saved during the standard extension build process initiated by calling the buildBinaries task from build-debug-binaries Gradle project. To regenerate the C files, the following two commands should be called from the pydev root directory:

PYTHONPATH=. python3.8 build_tools/build.py --no-remove-binaries PYTHONPATH=. python3.10 build_tools/build.py --no-remove-binaries

Pay attention that two different versions of Python are used. Each version corresponds to a version range from _pydevd_frame_eval/cython.
