Re: [Maxima-discuss] line numbers while debugging a script

[Helmut J. <jar...@sk...>]

Hi Raymon, hi Robert,

the following is a very simple example which I used to discovering my  
rules.
When the debugger stop at function to_be_debugged it says

Bkpt 0: (T_Dbg_Lines.mac line 7, in function $TO_BE_DEBUGGED)
/Src/Src/Math/Maxima/HJ/T_Dbg_Lines.mac:7::

But function to_be_debugged is at line 14 not 7

Many thanks for investigating this issue,
Helmut

Do the following lines in a shell

cat > Test_File.mac <<\EOD
/* a comment */


/* a comment */



shortfct(x):= 2*x;




shortfct2(x):= 2*x;
shortfct3(x):= 2*x;
to_be_debugged(x):= block([z],  /* this is line 0 */
   z:2,
   z:x,
   print("fini")
);

debugmode(true)$
:br to_be_debugged

to_be_debugged(1)$
EOD

maxima -b Test_File.mac
