23.2.2 Invoking the Stepper via a breakpoint

1. Compile and load the code in the system demo defined in the LispWorks library file examples/tools/demo-defsys.lisp
2. Open the file examples/tools/demo-utils.lisp in an Editor and set a breakpoint at the call to + as described in Setting breakpoints.
3. Evaluate (my-useful-function 42) in a Listener.
4. A Stepper tool appears, with the current stepping position at the breakpoint.

 


5. You can now step this code, just as in standalone mode.
6. When you choose Stepper > Continue , or otherwise finish stepping, my-useful-function returns, the Stepper is hidden and the Listener tool becomes active again.
