4.4 Debugging interface: the Debug structure
Trace structure manipulates the trace and breakpoint states of functions. There are two different interfaces to the trace and breakpoint manager. The simple one consists of all the functions below except traceFull, and corresponds to the GUI interface.Note that tracepointing a function overrides any breakpoints it may have, and vice versa.
Breakpoints and tracepoints are set with strings that match functions whose names have that string as a prefix. Therefore, breaking and tracing on a name affects every function whose name has that name as a prefix.
The sophisticated interface is provided by the traceFull function, and for best results should not be used in conjunction with the simple interface.
structure Trace:
sig
val breakpoint: string -> unit
val unbreakpoint: string -> unit
val unbreakAll: unit -> unit
val trace: string -> unit
val untrace: string -> unit
val untraceAll: unit -> unit
val traceFull: (string * ('a -> 'b) * ('c -> 'd)) -> unit
end
