|
|
|
|
<p>When code being evaluated from the REPL hits an error, Guile enters a
|
|
new prompt, allowing you to inspect the context of the error.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example lisp">
|
|
<pre class="lisp-preformatted">scheme@(guile-user)> (map string-append '("a" "b") '("c" #\d))
|
|
ERROR: In procedure string-append:
|
|
ERROR: Wrong type (expecting string): #\d
|
|
Entering a new prompt. Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue.
|
|
scheme@(guile-user) [1]>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The new prompt runs inside the old one, in the dynamic context of the
|
|
error. It is a recursive REPL, augmented with a reified representation
|
|
of the stack, ready for debugging.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><code class="code">,backtrace</code> (abbreviated <code class="code">,bt</code>) displays the Scheme call
|
|
stack at the point where the error occurred:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example lisp">
|
|
<pre class="lisp-preformatted">scheme@(guile-user) [1]> ,bt
|
|
1 (map #<procedure string-append _> ("a" "b") ("c" #\d))
|
|
0 (string-append "b" #\d)
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the above example, the backtrace doesn’t have much source
|
|
information, as <code class="code">map</code> and <code class="code">string-append</code> are both
|
|
primitives. But in the general case, the space on the left of the
|
|
backtrace indicates the line and column in which a given procedure calls
|
|
another.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You can exit a recursive REPL in the same way that you exit any REPL:
|
|
via ‘<samp class="samp">(quit)</samp>’, ‘<samp class="samp">,quit</samp>’ (abbreviated ‘<samp class="samp">,q</samp>’), or
|
|
<kbd class="kbd">C-d</kbd>, among other options.

|
