Subject:Pop11 Debugging Tricks 
From:Tim Read 
Volume-ID:940208.12 

Much as I find the debugger a nice tool to use, there comes a time when you
just want to get a little more error information than standard, but don't want
the hassle of setting up the debugger or of typing in loads of trace
instructions and print out comments (and yes - I do use the inspect function).

Hence my question: Does anyone have any code that can be `toggled on/off' to
show the following:

1 That a procedure has been called, what is passed into/received from it.
2 The value of lvars within a procedure as they change.
3 Which branches of control structures are taken, and why.
4 The user stack contents as they change.
5 Any other useful things anyone can think of....

Thanks,
  
 Tim
