Re: [Bug-apl] Trace doesn't display all lines

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Blake,

thanks, fixed in SVN 334.

In GNU APL, pure comment lines without statements do not go into
the function body and can therefore not be traced.

I have to add, this problem with trace renders the trace facility very significantly crippled. For example, I am trying to debug a function I am having trouble with. Since so many lines contain branches or calls to functions that don't return values, I have no idea what is going on.

Thanks.

    I checked, GNU APL also doesn't print branch lines.  IBM APL shows:

    test[4] →2

    in the trace (if it branched to line 2).

    Thanks.

        Trace should show that it executed each line even if that line
        doesn't produce a value.  i.e.

        GNU APL:

          ∇test[⎕]∇
        ∇
        [0]   test
        [1]  ⍝ a comment
        [2]   test2
        [3]   x←4
        ∇
          ∇test2[⎕]∇

        ∇
          T∆test←⍳3
          test
        test[3] 4



        IBM APL 2:

            ∇TEST[⎕]∇
          ∇
        [0]   TEST
        [1]  ⍝ A COMMENT
        [2]   TEST2
        [3]   X←4
          ∇
            ∇TEST2[⎕]∇
          ∇
        [0]   TEST2
          ∇
            T∆TEST←⍳3
            TEST
        TEST[1]
        TEST[2]
        TEST[3] 4


        Thanks.
