;;; Commentary:
|
|
|
|
;; Introduction:
|
|
;; =============
|
|
;; A simple trace package that utilizes advice.el. It generates trace
|
|
;; information in a Lisp-style fashion and inserts it into a trace output
|
|
;; buffer. Tracing can be done in the background (or silently) so that
|
|
;; generation of trace output won't interfere with what you are currently
|
|
;; doing.
|
|
|
|
;; How to get the latest trace.el:
|
|
;; ===============================
|
|
;; You can get the latest version of this file either via anonymous ftp from
|
|
;; ftp.cs.buffalo.edu (128.205.32.9) with pathname /pub/Emacs/trace.el,
|
|
;; or send email to hans@cs.buffalo.edu and I'll mail it to you.
|
|
|
|
;; Requirement:
|
|
;; ============
|
|
;; trace.el needs advice.el version 2.0 or later which you can get from the
|
|
;; same place from where you got trace.el.
|
|
|
|
;; Restrictions:
|
|
;; =============
|
|
;; - Traced subrs when called interactively will always show nil as the
|
|
;; value of their arguments.
|
|
;; - Only functions/macros/subrs that are called via their function cell will
|
|
;; generate trace output, hence, you won't get trace output for:
|
|
;; + Subrs called directly from other subrs/C-code
|
|
;; + Compiled calls to subrs that have special byte-codes associated
|
|
;; with them (e.g., car, cdr, ...)
|
|
;; + Macros that were expanded during compilation
|
|
;; - All the restrictions that apply to advice.el
|
|
|
|
;; Installation:
|
|
;; =============
|
|
;; Put this file together with advice.el (version 2.0 or later) somewhere
|
|
;; into your Emacs `load-path', byte-compile it/them for efficiency, and
|
|
;; put the following autoload declarations into your .emacs
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (autoload 'trace-function "trace" "Trace a function" t)
|
|
;; (autoload 'trace-function-background "trace" "Trace a function" t)
|
|
;;
|
|
;; or explicitly load it with (require 'trace) or (load "trace").
|
|
|
|
;; Comments, suggestions, bug reports
|
|
;; ==================================
|
|
;; are strongly appreciated, please email them to hans@cs.buffalo.edu.
|
|
|
|
;; Usage:
|
|
;; ======
|
|
;; - To trace a function say `M-x trace-function' which will ask you for the
|
|
;; name of the function/subr/macro to trace, as well as for the buffer
|
|
;; into which trace output should go.
|
|
;; - If you want to trace a function that switches buffers or does other
|
|
;; display oriented stuff use `M-x trace-function-background' which will
|
|
;; generate the trace output silently in the background without popping
|
|
;; up windows and doing other irritating stuff.
|
|
;; - To untrace a function say `M-x untrace-function'.
|
|
;; - To untrace all currently traced functions say `M-x untrace-all'.
|
|
|
|
;; Examples:
|
|
;; =========
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (defun fact (n)
|
|
;; (if (= n 0) 1
|
|
;; (* n (fact (1- n)))))
|
|
;; fact
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (trace-function 'fact)
|
|
;; fact
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Now, evaluating this...
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (fact 4)
|
|
;; 24
|
|
;;
|
|
;; ...will generate the following in *trace-buffer*:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; 1 -> fact: n=4
|
|
;; | 2 -> fact: n=3
|
|
;; | | 3 -> fact: n=2
|
|
;; | | | 4 -> fact: n=1
|
|
;; | | | | 5 -> fact: n=0
|
|
;; | | | | 5 <- fact: 1
|
|
;; | | | 4 <- fact: 1
|
|
;; | | 3 <- fact: 2
|
|
;; | 2 <- fact: 6
|
|
;; 1 <- fact: 24
|
|
;;
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (defun ack (x y z)
|
|
;; (if (= x 0)
|
|
;; (+ y z)
|
|
;; (if (and (<= x 2) (= z 0))
|
|
;; (1- x)
|
|
;; (if (and (> x 2) (= z 0))
|
|
;; y
|
|
;; (ack (1- x) y (ack x y (1- z)))))))
|
|
;; ack
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (trace-function 'ack)
|
|
;; ack
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Try this for some interesting trace output:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (ack 3 3 1)
|
|
;; 27
|
|
;;
|
|
;;
|
|
;; The following does something similar to the functionality of the package
|
|
;; log-message.el by Robert Potter, which is giving you a chance to look at
|
|
;; messages that might have whizzed by too quickly (you won't see subr
|
|
;; generated messages though):
|
|
;;
|
|
;; (trace-function-background 'message "*Message Log*")
|
|
|
|
|
|
;;; Change Log:
|
|
|
|
;; Revision 2.0 1993/05/18 00:41:16 hans
|
|
;; * Adapted for advice.el 2.0; it now also works
|
|
;; for GNU Emacs-19 and Lemacs
|
|
;; * Separate function `trace-function-background'
|
|
;; * Separate pieces of advice for foreground and background tracing
|
|
;; * Less insane handling of interactive trace buffer specification
|
|
;; * String arguments and values are now printed properly
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Revision 1.1 1992/12/15 22:45:15 hans
|
|
;; * Created, first public release
