4.2 The Tracer

The Tracer traces calls to a specified function or functions. Whenever a traced function is called, tracing information is displayed that shows the name of the traced function and the function's arguments and return values. The Tracer allows you to isolate a function to determine whether it is being called in the right circumstances or whether the correct arguments and return values are being passed.

The Tracer consists of the following constructs:

*max-trace-indentation*
trace
*trace-arglist*
*trace-bar-p*
*trace-columns-per-level*
*trace-level*
trace-method
*trace-new-definitions*
*trace-values*
*traced-function-list*
untrace
untrace-method
