Hi, is there really a need for this change? When a user debugs a exe, stops, and clicks the start debugging button again while having a DLL selected it will default to using the previous debugger start options. This however does not happen when an exe is selected which I assume is the goal of your changes. There is however a flaw in the implementation here, if the user debugs a exe for example Also,a re you sure implementing this behavior is required for |

I am pretty sure we don't actually need the DebuggerSettingsImpl
and we could just DI the base DebuggerSettings
class instead.

lastOptions!.Value.options != null
is redundant here as options
element in the tuple is not marked as nullable and thus should never be null
.
Let me put together a repro case, I can say that even debugging one exe I can get this often (debug conditions lost). Maybe it happens in those modules are dynamic and not file based. Will find an easy test and can figure out if it is just a flaw in the current detection or if a new option/feature is needed. |
Ok two conditions it seems to 'fail':

#1 is tricky to fix too, while you could store debug settings based on the original module selected (rather than the resulting start executable) this could break if you store those settings for a non-entrypoint dll and later change the debug settings. IE: You could ignore storing any RU cache for non entrypoint dlls but that wouldn't fix a launcher that loads a library and manually calls a function to start the process rather than using a standardized entrypoint (as those debug settings would never stick). Aside from this solution of always re-using the last launch settings, you could try to track how an assembly was loaded in. if opened from file open then when starting debug reset debug settings (if that specific assembly is not in the RU). This would need to be tracked cross dnspy opens though which would be an annoying additional piece of information. It also wouldn't solve if you opened it from an attached program by loading the module from memory. You could end up as well where you open a resource on an executable in assembly explorer and it looks just like if you opened it from file->open but would behave differently. While I would assume 98% of the time when people open dnSpy they are debugging the same thing for the entire session there could be cases where you have say 5 executables you are jumping between and want the launch settings preserved between them. Still I think there could be value in this sort of PR option. As it is just an option the user could easily toggle it on and off depending on the desired scenario for those 2% times. Right now the best solution I have found is to have 'tabs' that have assemblies I want to launch from open, then after launching I switch to a new tab so that tab does not go off of the good assembly for launching. Inelegant to say the least. |
right now when the assembly selected changes the debug start settings change as well. This isn't a huge issue if you have only a assemblies open, but if you end up with dozens upon dozens it becomes a bit painful. This option re-uses the last debug settings by default no matter what assembly you are on.
Naming / description could probably use some work.
