break point in clojure - A macro from 《the joy of clojure》 for debugging:
(defn contextual-eval [ctx expr]
(eval
`(let [~@(mapcat (fn [[k v]] [k `'~v]) ctx)]
~expr)))
(defmacro local-context []
(let [symbols (keys &env)]
(zipmap (map (fn [sym] `(quote ~sym)) symbols) symbols)))
(defn readr [prompt exit-code]
(let [input (clojure.main/repl-read prompt exit-code)]
(if (= input ::tl)
exit-code
input)))
;;make a break point
(defmacro break []
`(clojure.main/repl
:prompt #(print "debug=> ")
:read readr
:eval (partial contextual-eval (local-context))))
;; Usage:
(defn div [n d] (break) (int (/ n d)))
(div 10 0)
debug=> n
10
debug=> d
0
debug=> (local-context)
{n 10, d 0}
debug=> ::tl
