As some of you know, I suffer from a seemingly interminable obsession with improving the Clojure debugging story. It just seems so clear to me that Clojure deserves a world class debugger, one befitting it's power, beauty and elegance. Maybe one day, we'll get there. Till then, here are my latest improvements to the CDT:
1. Stepping 2. Line number breakpoints 3. An Emacs based front end which allows you to: step, set breakpoints, catch exceptions, eval remote clojure expressions, and go up and down the stack, in a much more natural way than with just the command line. When you want to eval the s-expr under the cursor, hit ^x^a^p! CDT will then serialize the s-expr, send it to the remote vm, evaluate it there in the context of the current stack frame, and display the result on the mode line. Ridiculously long instructions on how to use it are here: http://georgejahad.com/clojure/emacs-cdt.html I should emphasize that there is nothing Emacs specific about the CDT. In fact, I've been so spoiled by Clojure, I don't even enjoy writing Elisp any more. This front end was written in Emacs because that's the IDE I'm most familiar with. The CDT command line is IDE agnostic; it should be easy, (dare I say fun?), to port it to other IDE's. If there's interest, I'll detail how in a future post. Many thanks to Fogus for the kind words, and to the Runa gang for their continuing encouragement! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
