As I said earlier, the breakage is certainly caused by the way in which the
REPL executable now includes a custom lexer (for handling the various backquote
``....`` syntaxes), and is not the standard Poly REPL. This is exactly the
change that was implemented in the heaps-reworked branch. Having to run a
separate process just to achieve that lexing has caused many difficulties in
the past, and I am definitely not inclined to go back to it.
It's possible that the Poly/ML debugging facility can be re-implemented in the
new REPL; you may be able to get useful advice about how this might be done on
the Poly/ML mailing list. Such tweaking would almost certainly have to be done
against the code in tools-poly/holrepl.ML, which is basically a slightly
adjusted copy of code from the Poly/ML sources.

Hi Michael,
I… took some time trying to find out the revision which breaks the
debugging facility. After many rounds of binary searching, I found that, until
the following revision
e5fc0f365922cfd11ec32c4531983d20892777a6 (Improving naming of
bit-vector signed division constants…) on Sep 11, 2017
the debugging facility still works, then after the next revision it’s
broken:
69125acadde5cf629e4b9d5604bc33b226c57b5d (Merge branch
'heaps-reworked’) on Sep 13, 2017
many revisions after e5fc0f36 is not buildable under Poly/ML 5.7 (until
c52815a4 “Comment out optional(?) code that doesn't work/exist under poly5.7…”)
so I used Poly/ML 5.6 to confirm above broken revisions.
I’ll try to dig into your branch 'heaps-reworked’ to further find out the
exact changes related to the breaks of debugging facility.
Could you please make some efforts to fix this issue? I think HOL should be
considered as a normal Poly/ML with theorem proving built in, and in theory HOL
executions can be used for developing any SML-based applications, and the the
debugging facility is very important for large complex applications.

Chun

debugger, you might be able to get things to work by manually use-ing the HOL
SML sources into the standard poly REPL.
