I know that Andy Gill was also interested in having similar facilities, perhaps he can help out.
I wonder if Andy is reading this? Possibly there are other people around who are also interested in this. I think the HAT people at NHC headquarters are also interested in these things.
What I want is gdb for GHC :-) Perhaps another build (like profiling vs optimizer), and when you press ^C, the ghcdb> prompt comes up :-) I did at one point want to look at providing a Java style reflection on polymorphic objects, towards having a non-evaluating print command at the gdbdb prompt. If anyone is interested in helping me flesh this out, then please email me. I wonder if the Cost Center Stack idea can be combined some debugging concepts, giving an approximation to a stack dump, and you can print (using a non evaluating print) the stack? Andy Gill
