Hi, I know there were 4 unique IP addresses which checked it out. Since I do not know who they are I just spam this list again :) You can get it here: http://www.hck.sk/users/peter/pub/ If you decide to give it a try then read the README file before installing. It should work with the stock GHC 6.10.2 and higher, but I only tried briefly with GHC 6.10.3 (as it was released) and I use it without any problem with my customized GHC 6.10.3 (dirty support for ansi escape sequences in ':set prompt' for color highlighting of the prompt, patch for ticket http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3084 (allow macros to redefine builtin GHCi commands), and few more details). Here is what it does: Prelude> :defs long :. <file> -- source commands from <file> :* <count> <cmd>... -- run <cmd> <count> times :x <cmd>... -- run <cmd> with stdout suppressed :out -- redirect ghci stdout back to console :redir <var> <cmd>... -- execute <cmd> redirecting stdout to <var> :grep <args> < <cmd>... -- run grep <args> on <cmd> output Runs grep from your OS on the output of <cmd>. This means all the options of your OS grep are available. '<' separates grep options from the command. :find <cmd> [-]<var> -- step with <cmd> until <var> is found Prepend variable name with '-' to disable printing of its value. :locate <cmd> <bpArgs> -- step with <cmd> until location <bpArgs> is hit :bp <bpArgs> -- put breakpoint at <bpArgs> (adds hit count) :inject <cc> <c> <sc> <b> -- at location <b> run <c> if <cc> and stop if <sc> There are two special identifiers which can be used in the breakpoint code (<c>) and the breakpoint stop condition (<sc>); but which are not usable in the breakpoint code condition (<cc>). These are: - ghciExt_BpId - macro name; translates to breakpoint id - ghciExt_HitCnt - macro name; translates to breakpoint hit count :strobe ["<c>"] <b> -- at location <b> show hit count if <c> :monitor ["<c>"] <vs> <b> -- show comma-sep. variables at location <b> if <c> :watch <cond> <bpArgs> -- break at location <bpArgs> when <cond> is True :count <N> [<bpArgs>] -- count/stop execution at <bpArgs> or query bp hits There are three ways how to use this command: - :count 0 <bpArgs> - never stops; counts hits and extends trace history - :count N <bpArgs> - stops when location <bpArgs> is hit N-th time - :count N - shows hit count of a ghciExt breakpoint with number N. :hl <cmd>... -- highlight the output of <cmd> :defs [long] -- list user commands (possibly with long help) General information for all GhciExt commands: - Most arguments may be in quotation marks (to allow spaces in them). - Instead of a regular quotation mark, @x can be used to start a string argument too. In such a case the argument is finished when character x appears again after `@x' string. Use any character in place of x. This was added so that one does not need to escape quotation marks and back-slashes in arguments (especially those representing code). Prelude> Not so much obsolete description of how it works (and how to use it) is here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.glasgow.user/16270 Notable changes are: * much better :grep command (you can even get color highlighted output) * you do not need to prefix commands :main, :continute, :step, and :trace with :x any more * :findex replaced with much better :locate It works on linux. The only reason I recall it would not work on windows is the use of '/dev/null'. But I never tried on windows. Enjoy, Peter.
