9.3 Tracing from tool menus

9.3.1 Tracing in the editor

In the editor, the Definition and Expression menus provide the tracer options Trace, Trace with Break and Untrace. These options perform tracing operations on functions, methods, and macros referred to by the current cursor position. See Chapter 4 for more details of definitions and expressions in the Editor.

Selecting Trace causes the current expression or definition to be traced when next called. The trace performed is a normal one, and is equivalent to typing (trace function-name) in the Listener.

The Trace with Break option invokes the debugger upon entry to the current expression or definition. This is equivalent to using the :break option in the Listener.

The Untrace option turns tracing off for the current expression or definition, equivalent to typing (untrace function-name) in the Listener.
