a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_d.htm#designator"><I>designator</I></A> for a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#function"><I>function</I></A> of two <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_a.htm#argument"><I>arguments</I></A> (a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#condition"><I>condition</I></A> and the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_v.htm#value"><I>value</I></A> of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#STdebugger-hookST"><B>*debugger-hook*</B></A> at the time the debugger was entered), or <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="a_nil.htm#nil"><B>nil</B></A>. <P>

<P>
<A REL=DEFINITION HREF="a_nil.htm#nil"><B>nil</B></A>. <P>

<P>
When the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_v.htm#value"><I>value</I></A> of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#STdebugger-hookST"><B>*debugger-hook*</B></A> is <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_n.htm#non-nil"><I>non-nil</I></A>, it is called prior to normal entry into the debugger, either due to a call to <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_invoke.htm#invoke-debugger"><B>invoke-debugger</B></A> or due to automatic entry into the debugger from a call to <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_error.htm#error"><B>error</B></A> or <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_cerror.htm#cerror"><B>cerror</B></A> with a condition that is not handled. The <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#function"><I>function</I></A> may either handle the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#condition"><I>condition</I></A> (transfer control) or return normally (allowing the standard debugger to run). To minimize recursive errors while debugging, <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#STdebugger-hookST"><B>*debugger-hook*</B></A> is bound to <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="a_nil.htm#nil"><B>nil</B></A> by <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_invoke.htm#invoke-debugger"><B>invoke-debugger</B></A> prior to calling the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#function"><I>function</I></A>. <P>

<P>
When evaluating code typed in by the user interactively, it is sometimes useful to have the hook function bind <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#STdebugger-hookST"><B>*debugger-hook*</B></A> to the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#function"><I>function</I></A> that was its second argument so that recursive errors can be handled using the same interactive facility. <P>
