Here is a functional version of the lucid debugger :L command so you
can compose expressions using local vars. while inside the debugger.
Up with functions ! Down with command processors !
-- jim
(export '(dbg-arg dbg-loc))
(defun dbg-arg (index-or-name)
"This is a LUCID version of the standard Symbolics DBG:ARG and DBG:LOC
functions. It is also similar to the lucid debugger `:L' command. Called
by a user from inside the debugger, it returns the value of the specified
local variable for the current stack frame. The argument is either an
index number or the name of the local."
One of the main ways I use (dbg:arg ..) in Symbolics land is to change the
value of an arg to get a program to continue. For example,
(setf (dbg:arg 3) 'foo).
Is this possible in Lucid land?
