[ x_steps ]

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 debugger:

installDebugger
=> t

1> (sstatus sourceTracing t) 
                     ; Turns on sourceTracing to get line numbers
=> t

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

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

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

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

1> (initColor 'object1)
<<< Break >>> on calling get with args (object1 color)
at line 3 in file /tmp/color.il

Debug 2> stepout
<<< Break >>> on calling get with args (object1 name)
at line 5 in file /tmp/color.il                 
                                          ; stop at next 'get'
