Hello,
I have a program which uses some code in a package, and I would like to be able to find out the source of an error which is occuring inside that package. Can I use the ghci-debugger to do this? If I try to set a breakpoint inside the package, it says:
"cannot set breakpoint on Vector.Sparse.Wrappers.vmergeOp: module Vector.Sparse.Wrappers is not interpreted"
But this page:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/current/docs/users_guide/ghci-debugger.html
has no use of the word "package", so I assume that reading that (long) document won't ansnwer my question...
Thank you,
Frederik
The users-guide says "There is one major restriction: breakpoints and single-stepping are only available in interpreted modules; compiled code is invisible to the debugger." The modules of an installed package are always compiled, I think. If you have the source available, you could try to put that in your working directory (probably hide the installed package before starting ghci). Cheers, Daniel
