0:09:36bottlecaphi is there any quick alternative to not having step in abcl? is it still possible to debug programs?
1:53:59bottlecapany help would be much appreciated :)
1:54:15bottlecapwith a workaround to not having step
1:54:54bottlecapalso if someone wanted to contribute to maybe implementing step, is there a ticket with some details on hurdles needed to overcome to get it added to ABCL?
1:55:26bottlecaponly thing i could find was this https://abcl.org/trac/ticket/30
6:25:16easyebottlecap: for debugging ABCL interactively under SLIME in lieu of STEP implementation, I visit code in a buffer, copy the top-level to *slime-scratch*, insert BREAK forms, then evaluate the form with C-u slime-compile-defun. Really suboptimal, but the best route I have found.
6:25:44easyeThat a lot of use of TRACE to figure out where the problem is occurring.
6:27:40easyeAs for hurdles for implementation details, the best person to summarize what would be needed would probably be Alan Ruttenberg. He is best reached via the mailing list.
