# pdb.py -- finally, a Python debugger! See below for instructions.
# pdb.py -- finally, a Python debugger!
# See file pdb.doc for instructions.
# To do:
# - Keep a list of exceptions trapped (default only KeyboardInterrupt?)
# - It should be possible to intercept KeyboardInterrupt completely
# - Handle return events differently (how?)
# - When stopping on an exception, show traceback stack
# - Merge with tb (for post-mortem usage)
# - Show stack traces upside-down (like dbx/gdb) ???
# (actually, the current way is more natural given the directions
# taken by the up/down commands)
# To use the debugger in its simplest form:
# >>> import pdb
# >>> pdb.run('<a statement>')
# The debugger's prompt is '(Pdb) '.
# This will stop in the first function call in <a statement>.
# The commands recognized by the debugger are listed below.
# Most can be abbreviated as indicated; e.g., h(elp) means that
# 'help' can be typed as 'h' or 'help'
# (but not as 'he' or 'hel', nor as 'H' or 'Help' or 'HELP').
# Optional arguments are enclosed in square brackets.
# A blank line repeats the previous command literally.
# (Except for 'list', where it lists the next 11 lines.)
# Commands that the debugger does not recognized are assumed to
# be Python statements and are executed in the context of the
# program being debugged.
# Python statements can also be prefixed with an exclamation point ('!').
# This is a powerful way to inspect the program being debugged;
# it is even possible to change variables.
# When an exception occurs in such a statement, the exception name
# is printed but the debugger's state is not changed.
# The debugger is not directly programmable; but it is implemented
# as a class from which you can derive your own debugger class,
# so you can make as fancy as you like.
# The debugger's commands are:
# h(elp)
# Without argument, print the list of available commands.
# With a command name as argument, print help about that command
# (this is currently not implemented).
# w(here)
# Print a stack trace, with the most recent frame at the bottom.
# An arrow indicates the "current frame", which determines the
# context of most commands.
# d(own)
# Move the current frame one level down in the stack trace
# (to an older frame).
# u(p)
# Move the current frame one level up in the stack trace
# (to a newer frame).
# b(reak) [lineno]
# With a line number argument, set a break there in the current file.
# Without argument, list all breaks.
# cl(ear) [lineno]
# With a line number argument, clear that break in the current file.
# Without argument, clear all breaks (but first ask confirmation).
# s(tep)
# Execute the current line, stop at the first possible occasion
# (either in a function that is called or in the current function).
# n(ext)
# Continue execution until the next line in the current function
# is reached or it returns.
# r(eturn)
# Continue execution until the current function returns.
# c(ont(inue))
# Continue execution, only stop when a breakpoint is encountered.
# l(ist) [first [,last]]
# List source code for the current file.
# Without arguments, list 11 lines around the current line
# or continue the previous listing.
# With one argument, list 11 lines starting at that line.
# With two arguments, list the given range;
# if the second argument is less than the first, it is a count.
# a(rgs)
# Print the argument list of the current function.
# p expression
# Print the value of the expression.
# (!) statement
# Execute the (one-line) statement in the context of
# the current stack frame.
# The exclamation point can be omitted unless the first word
# of the statement resembles a debugger command.
# To assign to a global variable you must always prefix the
# command with a 'global' command, e.g.:
# (Pdb) global list_options; list_options = ['-l']
# (Pdb)
# q(uit)
# Quit from the debugger.
# The program being executed is aborted.
# Here's how it works.
# Some changes were made to the interpreter:
# - if sys.trace is defined (by the user), it should be a function
# - sys.trace is called the global trace function
# - there can also a local trace function (see later)
# Trace functions have three arguments: (frame, event, arg)
# - frame is the current stack frame
# - event is a string: 'call', 'line', 'return' or 'exception'
# - arg is dependent on the event type
# A trace function should return a new trace function or None.
# Class methods are accepted (and most useful!) as trace methods.
# The events have the following meaning:
#
# 'call': A function is called (or some other code block entered).
# The global trace function is called;
# arg is the argument list to the function;
# the return value specifies the local trace function.
#
# 'line': The interpreter is about to execute a new line of code
# (sometimes multiple line events on one line exist).
# The local trace function is called; arg in None;
# the return value specifies the new local trace function.
#
# 'return': A function (or other code block) is about to return.
# The local trace function is called;
# arg is the value that will be returned.
# The trace function's return value is ignored.
#
# 'exception': An exception has occurred.
# The local trace function is called if there is one,
# else the global trace function is called;
# arg is a triple (exception, value, traceback);
# the return value specifies the new local trace function
#
# Note that as an exception is propagated down the chain of callers,
# an 'exception' event is generated at each level.
# A stack frame object has the following read-only attributes:
# f_code: the code object being executed
# f_lineno: the current line number (-1 for 'call' events)
# f_back: the stack frame of the caller, or None
# f_locals: dictionary containing local name bindings
# f_globals: dictionary containing global name bindings
# A code object has the following read-only attributes:
# co_code: the code string
# co_names: the list of names used by the code
# co_consts: the list of (literal) constants used by the code
# co_filename: the filename from which the code was compiled
# - It should be possible to intercept KeyboardInterrupt
# - Handle return events differently -- always printing the r.v. can be bad!
# - Merge with tb, to get a single debugger for active and post-mortem usage
# - Solve bugs in termination (e.g., 'continue' after the program
# is done proceeds to debug the debugger; 'quit' sometimes complains
# about the PdbQuit exception...)
