The new beta release of J8.04, announced earlier today, supports two new
dissect features that make dissect a good starting point for debugging
any J sentence.
* if a tacit verb is used in a sentence, right-clicking on the name of
the verb in the dissect window will start a new dissection of the
execution of that verb, on the cell you select.
* if an explicit verb is used in a sentence, right-clicking on the name
of the verb in the dissect window will start the debugger, set a stop in
each line of the verb, and execute the verb on the cell you select. The
debugger will stop on the first line of the verb and you can then
single-step to examine execution.
You will need the new J8.04 and the latest dissect. Example sentences:
dissect 'toupper@> ''abc'';''Def'''
dissect '''abc'' taketo ''crabcake'''
