Examples

Suppose /tmp/color.il defines function initColor:

(defun initColor (object)
  (let ((colorList '(red green yellow)) color)
       (setq color (concat (get object 'color)))
       (if (memq color colorList)
           (printf "color %s initialized" (get object 'name)))
  ])
)

Try this file in the debugger:

installDebugger
=> t
1> load "/tmp/color.il"
=> t

1> (putprop 'object1 "green" 'color)
=> "green"

1> breakpt(initColor (entry (null object)) concat)
=> concat(initColor)

1>  (initColor 'object1)
*** Error in routine fprintf/sprintf:
Message: *Error* fprintf/sprintf: format spec. incompatible 
with data

Debug 2> dump
colorList = (red green yellow)
color = green
object = object1
nil
