-;;; Commentary:
-
-;; Introduction:
-;; =============
-;; A simple trace package that utilizes advice.el. It generates trace
-;; information in a Lisp-style fashion and inserts it into a trace output
-;; buffer. Tracing can be done in the background (or silently) so that
-;; generation of trace output won't interfere with what you are currently
-;; doing.
-
-;; How to get the latest trace.el:
-;; ===============================
-;; You can get the latest version of this file either via anonymous ftp from
-;; ftp.cs.buffalo.edu (128.205.32.9) with pathname /pub/Emacs/trace.el,
-;; or send email to hans@cs.buffalo.edu and I'll mail it to you.
-
-;; Requirement:
-;; ============
-;; trace.el needs advice.el version 2.0 or later which you can get from the
-;; same place from where you got trace.el.
-
-;; Restrictions:
-;; =============
-;; - Traced subrs when called interactively will always show nil as the
-;; value of their arguments.
-;; - Only functions/macros/subrs that are called via their function cell will
-;; generate trace output, hence, you won't get trace output for:
-;; + Subrs called directly from other subrs/C-code
-;; + Compiled calls to subrs that have special byte-codes associated
-;; with them (e.g., car, cdr, ...)
-;; + Macros that were expanded during compilation
-;; - All the restrictions that apply to advice.el
-
-;; Installation:
-;; =============
-;; Put this file together with advice.el (version 2.0 or later) somewhere
-;; into your Emacs `load-path', byte-compile it/them for efficiency, and
-;; put the following autoload declarations into your .emacs
-;;
-;; (autoload 'trace-function "trace" "Trace a function" t)
-;; (autoload 'trace-function-background "trace" "Trace a function" t)
-;;
-;; or explicitly load it with (require 'trace) or (load "trace").
-
-;; Comments, suggestions, bug reports
-;; ==================================
-;; are strongly appreciated, please email them to hans@cs.buffalo.edu.
-
-;; Usage:
-;; ======
-;; - To trace a function say `M-x trace-function' which will ask you for the
-;; name of the function/subr/macro to trace, as well as for the buffer
-;; into which trace output should go.
-;; - If you want to trace a function that switches buffers or does other
-;; display oriented stuff use `M-x trace-function-background' which will
-;; generate the trace output silently in the background without popping
-;; up windows and doing other irritating stuff.
-;; - To untrace a function say `M-x untrace-function'.
-;; - To untrace all currently traced functions say `M-x untrace-all'.
-
-;; Examples:
-;; =========
-;;
-;; (defun fact (n)
-;; (if (= n 0) 1
-;; (* n (fact (1- n)))))
-;; fact
-;;
-;; (trace-function 'fact)
-;; fact
-;;
-;; Now, evaluating this...
-;;
-;; (fact 4)
-;; 24
-;;
-;; ...will generate the following in *trace-buffer*:
-;;
-;; 1 -> fact: n=4
-;; | 2 -> fact: n=3
-;; | | 3 -> fact: n=2
-;; | | | 4 -> fact: n=1
-;; | | | | 5 -> fact: n=0
-;; | | | | 5 <- fact: 1
-;; | | | 4 <- fact: 1
-;; | | 3 <- fact: 2
-;; | 2 <- fact: 6
-;; 1 <- fact: 24
-;;
-;;
-;; (defun ack (x y z)
-;; (if (= x 0)
-;; (+ y z)
-;; (if (and (<= x 2) (= z 0))
-;; (1- x)
-;; (if (and (> x 2) (= z 0))
-;; y
-;; (ack (1- x) y (ack x y (1- z)))))))
-;; ack
-;;
-;; (trace-function 'ack)
-;; ack
-;;
-;; Try this for some interesting trace output:
-;;
-;; (ack 3 3 1)
-;; 27
-;;
-;;
-;; The following does something similar to the functionality of the package
-;; log-message.el by Robert Potter, which is giving you a chance to look at
-;; messages that might have whizzed by too quickly (you won't see subr
-;; generated messages though):
-;;
-;; (trace-function-background 'message "*Message Log*")
-
-
-;;; Change Log:
-
-;; Revision 2.0 1993/05/18 00:41:16 hans
-;; * Adapted for advice.el 2.0; it now also works
-;; for GNU Emacs-19 and Lemacs
-;; * Separate function `trace-function-background'
-;; * Separate pieces of advice for foreground and background tracing
-;; * Less insane handling of interactive trace buffer specification
-;; * String arguments and values are now printed properly
-;;
-;; Revision 1.1 1992/12/15 22:45:15 hans
-;; * Created, first public release
