I'm about ready to release an alpha version of my Eclipse-based Gambit IDE. TO get this working I had to make a small change to Gambit to enable another hook. If there is a better way to do this, using the existing binaries, I'd love to know it. Here's the patch to lib/_repl.scm:
============ 2145c2145 < (define-prim (##repl-within cont write-reason) ---
(define-prim (##repl-within-default cont write-reason)
2512a2513,2514
(set! ##repl-within ##repl-within-default)
==================
I'm asking about this because I started building a version of GSI with this feature on mulitple platforms, and its proving to be a challenge. If I could get a standard build with this feature it would be great.
It allows me to hook into ##repl-within any time an error or break happens
So far the IDE has: *debugging - stack trace and source location - inspection of lists, tables, and *closure* - stepping (sort of) *syntax coloring *indenting and formatting *Other things like autocompletion, source outline are not done *I don't think I can do true breakpoints without more support, but I might be able to do some function-breaks.
