Modified Debug functionality

[jr@…]

After installing the newest 3.3.6.1 version of AutoIT I found that the functionality for _DebugSetup has been changed significantly. Instead of using the notepad window, it now features a built-in report window plus some other options. Apart from the fact that the report window has no search capabilities, the real problem is that now all scripts that have debugging activated exit only after the report window is closed. This is a real problem in cases where you have multiple processes run in succession (restart). I use the debugging capability for tracing purposes, which will be no longer possible since the processes refuse to exit.

Running the example you can see in the task manager that both processes will stay active until the debug window is closed.

Test script for _debugSetup

not sure your example is demontrating what you have in mind as you get an autoit3.exe waiting instead of a notepad.
Can you be more explicit about the burden?
as all output are realy going to the same window

rereading your post, make me assume something. You can always do your own report function

Like using win32 debug facility. (see DebugView @ ​http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx)

Example. (aka: working but not fully tested)

#include <Debug.au3>
Global $Win32debug_hDll = 0
Func _Debug_Win32debug($sMsgOut = Default)
	If IsKeyword($sMsgOut) And $sMsgOut = Default Then
		;; your exit code.
		If $Win32debug_hDll Then DllClose($Win32debug_hDll)
		$Win32debug_hDll = 0
	Else
		If Not $Win32debug_hDll Then $Win32debug_hDll = DllOpen("kernel32.dll")
		DllCall($Win32debug_hDll, "none", "OutputDebugString", "str", $__gsReportWindowTitle_Debug & ': ' & $sMsgOut)
		If @error Then
			if $Win32debug_hDll Then
				DllClose($Win32debug_hDll)
				$debug_hDll = 0
			EndIf
			MsgBox(0, '_Debug_Win32debug() Error', '$debug_hDll Call error.')
			Exit
		EndIf
	EndIf
EndFunc
_DebugSetup(Default, False, "_Debug_Win32debug")
_DebugOut('_DebugOut')
_DebugReportVar('_DebugReportVar', '_DebugReportVar', True)
