;;; Commentary:

;; Introduction:
;; =============
;; A simple trace package that utilizes advice.el. It generates trace 
;; information in a Lisp-style fashion and inserts it into a trace output
;; buffer. Tracing can be done in the background (or silently) so that
;; generation of trace output won't interfere with what you are currently
;; doing.

;; How to get the latest trace.el:
;; ===============================
;; You can get the latest version of this file either via anonymous ftp from 
;; ftp.cs.buffalo.edu (128.205.32.9) with pathname /pub/Emacs/trace.el,
;; or send email to hans@cs.buffalo.edu and I'll mail it to you.

;; Requirement:
;; ============
;; trace.el needs advice.el version 2.0 or later which you can get from the
;; same place from where you got trace.el.

;; Restrictions:
;; =============
;; - Traced subrs when called interactively will always show nil as the
;;   value of their arguments.
;; - Only functions/macros/subrs that are called via their function cell will
;;   generate trace output, hence, you won't get trace output for:
;;   + Subrs called directly from other subrs/C-code
;;   + Compiled calls to subrs that have special byte-codes associated
;;     with them (e.g., car, cdr, ...)
;;   + Macros that were expanded during compilation
;; - All the restrictions that apply to advice.el

;; Installation:
;; =============
;; Put this file together with advice.el (version 2.0 or later) somewhere
;; into your Emacs `load-path', byte-compile it/them for efficiency, and
;; put the following autoload declarations into your .emacs
;;
;;    (autoload 'trace-function "trace" "Trace a function" t)
;;    (autoload 'trace-function-background "trace" "Trace a function" t)
;;
;; or explicitly load it with (require 'trace) or (load "trace").

;; Comments, suggestions, bug reports
;; ==================================
;; are strongly appreciated, please email them to hans@cs.buffalo.edu.

;; Usage:
;; ======
;; - To trace a function say `M-x trace-function' which will ask you for the
;;   name of the function/subr/macro to trace, as well as for the buffer
;;   into which trace output should go.
;; - If you want to trace a function that switches buffers or does other
;;   display oriented stuff use `M-x trace-function-background' which will
;;   generate the trace output silently in the background without popping
;;   up windows and doing other irritating stuff.
;; - To untrace a function say `M-x untrace-function'.
;; - To untrace all currently traced functions say `M-x untrace-all'.

;; Examples:
;; =========
;;
;;  (defun fact (n)
;;    (if (= n 0) 1
;;      (* n (fact (1- n)))))
;;  fact
;;  
;;  (trace-function 'fact)
;;  fact
;;
;;  Now, evaluating this...
;;
;;  (fact 4)
;;  24
;;
;;  ...will generate the following in *trace-buffer*:
;;
;;  1 -> fact: n=4
;;  | 2 -> fact: n=3
;;  | | 3 -> fact: n=2
;;  | | | 4 -> fact: n=1
;;  | | | | 5 -> fact: n=0
;;  | | | | 5 <- fact: 1
;;  | | | 4 <- fact: 1
;;  | | 3 <- fact: 2
;;  | 2 <- fact: 6
;;  1 <- fact: 24
;;
;;
;;  (defun ack (x y z)
;;    (if (= x 0) 
;;        (+ y z)
;;      (if (and (<= x 2) (= z 0)) 
;;          (1- x)
;;        (if (and (> x 2) (= z 0)) 
;;            y
;;          (ack (1- x) y (ack x y (1- z)))))))
;;  ack
;;
;;  (trace-function 'ack)
;;  ack
;;
;;  Try this for some interesting trace output:
;;
;;  (ack 3 3 1)
;;  27
;;
;; 
;; The following does something similar to the functionality of the package
;; log-message.el by Robert Potter, which is giving you a chance to look at
;; messages that might have whizzed by too quickly (you won't see subr
;; generated messages though):
;;
;; (trace-function-background 'message "*Message Log*")


;;; Change Log:

;; Revision 2.0 1993/05/18 00:41:16 hans
;;	* Adapted for advice.el 2.0; it now also works
;;	  for GNU Emacs-19 and Lemacs
;;	* Separate function `trace-function-background'
;;	* Separate pieces of advice for foreground and background tracing
;;	* Less insane handling of interactive trace buffer specification
;;	* String arguments and values are now printed properly
;;
;; Revision 1.1 1992/12/15 22:45:15 hans
;;	* Created, first public release
