- New Debugging Features:
-
- Search-stack:
- (:s "cal") or (:s 'cal) searches the stack for a frame whose function or
- special form has a name containing "cal", moves there to display the local
- data.
-
- Break-locals:
- :bl displays the args and locals of the current function.
- (:bl 4) does this for 4 functions.
-
- (si:loc i) accesses the local(i): slot.
- the *print-level* and *print-depth* are bound to si::*debug-print-level*
-
- Recall that kcl permits movement to previous frame (:p) and next frame (:n).
- These also take numeric args eg. (:p 7) moves up 7 frames.
-
- If functions are interpreted, the arg values are displayed together
- with their names. If the functions are using the C stack (ie proclaimed
- functions), very little information is available.
-
-
- Note you must have space < 3 in your optimize proclamation, in order for
- the local variable names to be saved by the compiler.
-
- To Do: add setf method for si:loc.
- add restart capability from various spots on the stack.
