3.10 Tracing symbols from tools
Some tools contain Trace submenus which allow you to set tracing options for the selected function, method, macro, or generic function. This is a useful shortcut, since it gives you some control over tracing in the environment without having to work directly with the tracer. A Trace submenu generally has the following commands:
- Choose Trace to trace the currently selected function.
- Choose Trace with Break to trace the currently selected function, and enter the debugger on entry to it. Choosing this command sets the
:break option tot.
- Choose Untrace to turn off tracing on the currently selected function.
- Choose Untrace All to turn off tracing on currently traced functions. Note that this does not turn off tracing in the environment as a whole.
- Choose Toggle Tracing to turn all tracing commands in the environment on or off. This is equivalent to clicking the Tracing Enabled button in the tracer.
