[Seaside] Re: The session in the debugger

[Klaus D. Witzel]

Seasiders,

have a look at the two new changesets which I added to

- http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=5957

DoItWithContextVariable-kwl.1.cs resolves accessing the context of the  
debuggee, as discussed with Lukas.

WADynamicVariable-kwl.1.cs uses (DoItWithContextVariable raiseSignal) just  
for accessing the context of the debuggee (if it needs so).

Please test evaluation of (self session) from the context pane of the  
debugger, also other dynamic variables if you have some.

Thank you Lukas for participating in the solution. I think that the above,  
since it is implemented by WADynamicVariable just when it searches for  
itself on the stack, does not impose any problem on any other exception  
handling, unwind or process manipulation.

/Klaus

P.S. No other change set is needed.
