515844 - TM: trace-test.py: option to run test case in debugger

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, enhancement)

Description

[David Mandelin [:dmandelin]]

Attachment: Patch

By popular demand. To run the test case 'bug464403.js' in gdb:

    python ../trace-test/trace-test.py shell/js bug464403 -d

Any substring of 'bug464403.js' that is not a substring of any other test name will also work.

Based on past precedent (dist/bin/firefox, run-mozilla.sh, et al.), if I had to guess at the argument to invoke a debugger, it'd be -g, and I believe -d would instead be the argument to specify a specific debugger.  Maybe worth changing to -g for consistency?

Any objections? If no one objects by this afternoon, I'll just change it quick.
