7 The Listener

7.9 The Debug menu

This menu allows you to perform command line debugger operations upon the current stack frame. The menu is only available when the debugger has been invoked by some activity within the listener.

Some of the most commonly-used command line debugger commands are available from the Debug menu. You can also invoke the debugger tool from this menu.

Choose Debug > Abort to invoke the abort restart.

Choose Debug > Continue to invoke the continue restart.

Choose Debug > Backtrace to produce a backtrace of the error.

Choose Debug > Bindings to display information about the current stack frame.

Choose Debug > Find Source to find the source code definition of the function at the current call frame and display it in an editor.

Choose Debug > Next to move to the next call frame in the stack.

Choose Debug > Previous to move to the previous call frame in the stack.

Choose Debug > Debugger to invoke a debugger tool on the current error. See Chapter 12, "The Debugger Tool", for full details about using this tool.

Choose Debug > Report Bug to report a bug in the environment via electronic mail. See Section 17.2 on page 233 for details about sending electronic mail using the environment.

You can also invoke any of the commands from this menu by typing keyboard commands into the listener itself. The precise commands you need to use depend on the Lisp image that you are running; see the appropriate manual for your image for more details.
