Description jukefox

2007-08-04 13:23:33 EDT

When debugging within a constructor / method within an inner nested class that uses generics defined by its' surrounding class, the debugger was not able to resolve any member variables, parameters or other expressions. The result in all cases was:
"Evaluations must contain either an expression or a block of well-formed statements"

This bug might be a duplicate of / has been fixed with Bug 184862, but I think it's different. If so, don't hesitate and close it.

Created attachment 75378 [details]
Test file to reproduce the problem

Use the file attached and enable a breakpoint on line 14. After that run the program in debug mode to jump to the breakpoint. Then you should try resolve the parameter t using the Watch-view. The result should be the same error as listed in the ticket-description.

Confirmed that problem exists and is not fixed by 184862.  Marking as a bug day candidate in case some one wants to learn about evaluations.

Same bug appears in helios, even in non-generic class.

This works for me in:

Version: 4.3.0
Build id: I20130224-2000

Using the steps mentioned in comment #1, I also:
1. used the display editor action on't'
2. used the inspect editor action on 't'
3. used var value hovers on 't'
4. inspect / watch from the var view on 't'

All worked as expected.
