Announcing the release of buddha version 0.8 -------------------------------------------- www.cs.mu.oz.au/~bjpop/buddha Buddha is a declarative debugger for Haskell 98. It is based on program transformation and relies on GHC version 5.04 or greater (but not version 6 yet). It also needs GHC's libraries compiled for profiling. New in this release: - much improved support for debugging with exceptions If your program calls error, exhausts the stack, calls a class method which is missing, has a pattern match failure etc etc, and you don't catch the exception, buddha will notice this and start debugging. You can even interrupt a long running program with control-C (SIG INT) and buddha will start debugging with whatever computation was done up to that point. Features still missing: - record syntax, - some standard libraries (notably: Ratio, Numeric, Directory, Time), - mutually recursive modules, - deriving Ix. Platforms supported: - tested on linux - (should work in any unix-like environment), - not tested on Windows (sorry). Note that buddha does not yet work with GHC version 6.0. This will be fixed in coming releases. Cheers, Bernie.
