I often find that for debugging I want to see a log message saying "I'm about to do X" followed by X followed by "I'm done with X" and I want it to return the result of X.
I wrote this macro and posted it to the package server: https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/log-bracketed In retrospect, the syntax is bad and I should change it. Can anyone suggest something better? (define (on-complete x) (log-test-debug "entering on-complete") x) (struct person (name) #:transparent) (log-bracketed test-debug "on-complete" "time: ~a" (current-seconds) (on-complete (person 'bob))) (log-bracketed test-debug "on-complete" "" "no user-specified logging information") Spits out: test: about to on-complete. time: 1630611613 test: entering on-complete test: after on-complete. time: 1630611613. result: (person 'bob) (person 'bob) test: about to on-complete test: after on-complete. result: "no user-specified logging information" "no user-specified logging information" The problem is that this looks like it's a simple logging message when in fact it's real code that should not be ignored. I'm trying to think of a better way to do it...maybe something like this?: (with-bracketing-logs ([test-debug "on-complete" "time: ~a" (current-seconds)]) (on-complete (person 'bob)) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
