browserText(n = 1)
browserCondition(n = 1)
browserSetDebug(n = 1)
browser
can supply either a text string or a condition.
The functions browserText
and browserCondition
provide ways
to retrieve those values. Since there can be multiple browser contexts
active at any time we also support retrieving values from the different
contexts. The innermost (most recently initiated) browser context is
numbered 1: other contexts are numbered sequentially.browserSetDebug
provides a mechanism for initiating the browser in
one of the calling functions. See sys.frame
for a more
complete discussion of the calling stack. To use browserSetDebug
you select some calling function, determine how far back it is in the call
stack and call browserSetDebug
with n
set to that value.
Then, by typing c
at the browser prompt you will cause evaluation
to continue, and provided there are no intervening calls to browser or
other interrupts, control will halt again once evaluation has returned to
the closure specified. This is similar to the up functionality in gdb
or the "step out" functionality in other debuggers.
