I'd like to submit a new tracing library to clojure.contrib. Please try it out and let me know if it is suitable.
The existing clojure.contrib.trace macros allow you to explicitly trace any expression or redefine a function with deftrace so that it is traced. But deftrace doesn't work with functions with multiple arity or comment string. To trace many functions, you'd have to do a mass change of your defns to deftrace. This new library keeps track of functions you're tracing, allows you to toggle trace on/off on on functions, and trace every function in a namespace. If you reload a function, tracing is disabled for that function. The toggle trace and untrace all functions could be used to fill some missing pieces in emacs/slime/swank-clojure. It shouldn't be too difficult to make a simple profiler from it. The user interface is: (defmacro toggle-trace "Toggles tracing of function f" [f] (defmacro trace-on "Turn trace on for function f" [f] (defmacro trace-off "Turn trace off for function f" [f] (defn trace-ns "trace everything in the namespace ns. Don't try to trace clojure.core." [ns] (defn untrace-ns "untrace everything in the namespace ns" [ns] (defn untrace-all "untrace everything and clean out traced-map" [] I'm pasting the code to http://paste.lisp.org/display/71652. -Craig --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
