[Eduardo Ochs]

Hi list!

This is a mini-tutorial on edebug:

--snip--snip--
;; Preparation:
;;   (emacs-lisp-mode)
;;   (require 'edebug)
;;
;; See: (find-elinode "edebug")
;;      (find-elnode "Edebug")
;;      (find-efunctiondescr 'eval-defun "instrument")
;;      (find-efunctiondescr 'edebug-mode)
;;      (find-efunctiondescr 'edebug-mode "C-M-x" "eval-defun")
;;      (eek "M-h M-k  M-C-x  ;; eval-defun")
;;
(defun ee-triangle-buggy (n)
  (if (= n 1) 1
    (+ n (ee-triangle-buggy (1= n)))))

;; Instrument the defun above with:   (eek "3*<up> C-u M-C-x")
;; Run it in edebug mode with:        (ee-triangle-buggy 4)
;; Start by learning these keys:
;;      (find-elnode "Edebug Execution Modes" "<SPC>" "Step:")
;;      (find-elnode "Edebug Misc" "q" "Return to the top level")
