Hi Ben,

This seems like a nice idea. I think a first version of a debugger that does��

at least partially what you want is doable. Do you want to give it a try?

I can create a basic skeleton of the debugger and then we can iterate.

Cheers,

Andrei

A bit of a pie in the sky idea, but....
I am currently tracing through code like this...

�� XMLDOMVisitor >> visitDocument: theDocument
�� theDocument nodes do: [ :each | each accept: self ]

and its hard to get a feel for where "each" is in theDocument.�� I
wonder if it would even be possible for the debugger to have a tab
that showed a list of�� "theDocument nodes" with a cursor positioned at
"each" ?�� Maybe the #do: iterator is automatically identified, or
maybe you'd need a pragma to define the tab, specifying the list
contents and which variable is the cursor.�� When the program crashes
on an item, you could selected an item a few earlier and choose to
break on that data value.

So I guess all of it would be tough, but anyway thought I'd share that
flash of an idea.
