Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] Debugger bug(s)?
I have been working on the debugger & will look into these.
0. I'll check.
1. When you debug a verb with a "header", like
dverb =: 3 : 0"1
...
)
the debugger treats it as a tacit verb and doesn't let you look inside.
It displays like a tacit verb (which in fact it is!), all on one line,
with the LFs replaced by (1{a.). Is this what you are seeing?
To debug it you have to split it into
dverb =: dverbbody"1
dverbbody =: 3 : 0
...
)
In the next release the debugger will do this automatically for you. If
you select dverb for a stop, it will create the body and replace dverb
with a verb that points to the body. Stops will be placed into the body.
