@cindex Edebug
  Edebug is a source-level debugger for Emacs Lisp programs with which
you can:

@itemize @bullet
@item

@code{eval-region} records the position of every definition it
evaluates, even if not instrumenting it.  See also the @kbd{i} command
(@pxref{Jumping}), which steps into the call after instrumenting the
function.

@cindex special forms (Edebug)
@cindex interactive commands (Edebug)
@cindex anonymous lambda expressions (Edebug)
@cindex Common Lisp (Edebug)
@pindex cl.el @r{(Edebug)}
@pindex cl-specs.el
  Edebug knows how to instrument all the standard special forms,
@code{interactive} forms with an expression argument, anonymous lambda
expressions, and other defining forms.  However, Edebug cannot determine
on its own what a user-defined macro will do with the arguments of a
macro call, so you must provide that information using Edebug

* Global Break Condition::	Breaking on an event.
* Source Breakpoints::  	Embedding breakpoints in source code.

@subsubsection Breakpoints

@cindex breakpoints
While using Edebug, you can specify @dfn{breakpoints} in the program you
are testing: these are places where execution should stop.  You can set a
breakpoint at any stop point, as defined in @ref{Using Edebug}.  For
setting and unsetting breakpoints, the stop point that is affected is
the first one at or after point in the source code buffer.  Here are the

lines inserted.

@node Coverage Testing
@subsection Coverage Testing

@cindex coverage testing
@cindex frequency counts
@cindex performance analysis
Edebug provides rudimentary coverage testing and display of execution
frequency.

  Coverage testing works by comparing the result of each expression with
the previous result; each form in the program is considered ``covered''
if it has returned two different values since you began testing coverage
