Function

Summary

Ensures that an object is a working remote debugging connection.

Package

dbg

Signature

ensure-remote-debugging-connection object => connection-or-nil

Arguments

object

An object.

Values

connection-or-nil

A remote-debugging-connection or nil.

Description

The function ensure-remote-debugging-connection checks that object is a remote debugging connection (either IDE or client side) and that it is opened, and if so returns it. Otherwise it returns nil.

Notes

The main purpose of ensure-remote-debugging-connection is to check that the connection is still open. Debugging connections may close unexpectedly when the other side closes or the Lisp image quits or the machine is shut down, or (less likely) if something is wrong with the underlying connection between the machines.
