6 Debugging

Carl Eastlund <cce@racket-lang.org>

This library is unstable; compatibility will not be maintained. See Unstable: May Change Without Warning for more information.

 (require unstable/debug)

This module provides macros and functions for printing out debugging information.

syntax

(debug options ... expr)

 
options = #:name name-expr
  | #:source srcloc-expr
Writes debugging information about the evaluation of expr to the current error port. The name and source location of the expression may be overridden by keyword options; their defaults are the syntactic form of the expression and its syntactic source location, respectively.

Examples:

> (debug 0)

>> eval:2.0: 0

  result: 0

<< eval:2.0: 0

0

> (debug #:name "one, two, three" (values 1 2 3))

>> eval:3.0: "one, two, three"

  results: (values 1 2 3)

<< eval:3.0: "one, two, three"

1

2

3

> (debug #:source (make-srcloc 'here 1 2 3 4)
    (error 'function "something went wrong"))

>> here:1.2: (error 'function "something went wrong")

  raised exception: function: something went wrong

<< here:1.2: (error 'function "something went wrong")

function: something went wrong

procedure

(dprintf fmt arg ...) → void?

  fmt : string?
  arg : any/c
Constructs a message in the same manner as format and writes it to (current-error-port), with indentation reflecting the number of nested debug forms.

Examples:

> (dprintf "level: ~a" 0)

level: 0

> (debug (dprintf "level: ~a" 1))

>> eval:6.0: (dprintf "level: ~a" 1)

  level: 1

  result: #<void>

<< eval:6.0: (dprintf "level: ~a" 1)

> (debug (debug (dprintf "level: ~a" 2)))

>> eval:7.0: (debug (dprintf "level: ~a" 2))

  >> eval:7.0: (dprintf "level: ~a" 2)

    level: 2

    result: #<void>

  << eval:7.0: (dprintf "level: ~a" 2)

  result: #<void>

<< eval:7.0: (debug (dprintf "level: ~a" 2))

syntax

(debugf function-expr argument ...)

 
argument = argument-expr
  | argument-keyword argument-expr
Logs debugging information for (#%app function-expr argument ...), including the evaluation and results of the function and each argument.

Example:

> (debugf + 1 2 3)

>> eval:8.0: debugf

  >> eval:8.0: +

    result: #<procedure:+>

  << eval:8.0: +

  >> eval:8.0: 1

    result: 1

  << eval:8.0: 1

  >> eval:8.0: 2

    result: 2

  << eval:8.0: 2

  >> eval:8.0: 3

    result: 3

  << eval:8.0: 3

  result: 6

<< eval:8.0: debugf
