How do I maximise the debuggability of mcclim? I'm going back to my mcclim texture generator app, this time using the gtk backend, hoping to stress it a bit. I'm using sbcl-0.9.16. & SLIME

Does anyone have any debugging tips? Is there a strategic point in the code where I can proclaim (debug 3) and get the whole of mcclim compiled with debug info...?

This is general SBCL information, not McCLIM information, but so it goes:

(declaim (optimize (debug 3) (compilation-speed 3))) in your .sbclrc or in the repl. DO NOT LEAVE OUT THE COMPILATION-SPEED for now: otherwise SBCL will create more debug inforation than you really wan't for something the size of McCLIM -- this will hopefully change sooon, but for the moment that's the way it goes.

If you do the declaim in a file, it will affect that file after the point of declamation, but nothing else.
