I've created a function (defun tester () ...) that does almost what I want - but its not totally correct. I would like to use the slime debugger to start this function and single step through its various parts to see where the mistake is. How do I do that with slime?
The support for stepping is, unfortunately, not very good. I usually insert a call to BREAK at the beginning of the function like:
(defun tester () (break) ...)
recompile the function, and then run the function. The debugger will pop up and you can use `s' for stepping.
Thanks for this tip - it works ok. Is the limitation a function of slime or does it have to do with CMUCL or some other part? Not that I would be able to help but I wonder - if the limitation is in slime then maybe a clever lisp hacker would be able to make stepping work better. Thank you again. -Ram
