--A simple command line debug system for Lua written by Dave Nichols of
--Match-IT Limited. Its public domain software. Do with it as you wish.

--This debugger was inspired by:
-- RemDebug 1.0 Beta
-- Copyright Kepler Project 2005 (http://www.keplerproject.org/remdebug)

--Usage:
--  require('debugger')        --load the debug library
--  pause(message)             --start/resume a debug session

--An assert() failure will also invoke the debugger.

--{{{  local hints -- command help
--The format in here is name=summary|description
local hints = {

pause =   [[
pause(msg)          -- start/resume a debugger session|

This can only be used in your code or from the console as a means to
start/resume a debug session.
If msg is given that is shown when the session starts/resumes. Useful to
give a context if you've instrumented your code with pause() statements.
]],

poff =    [[
poff                -- turn off pause() command|

This causes all pause() commands to be ignored. This is useful if you have
instrumented your code in a busy loop and want to continue normal execution
with no further interruption.
]],

pon =     [[
pon                 -- turn on pause() command|

This re-instates honouring the pause() commands you may have instrumented
your code with.
]],

setb =    [[
setb [line file]    -- set a breakpoint to line/file|

If file is omitted or is "-" the breakpoint is set at the file for the
currently set level (see "set"). Execution pauses when this line is about
to be executed and the debugger session is re-activated.

The file can be given as the fully qualified name, partially qualified or
just the file name. E.g. if file is set as "myfile.lua", then whenever
execution reaches any file that ends with "myfile.lua" it will pause.
]],

delb =    [[
delb [line file]    -- removes a breakpoint|

If file is omitted or is "-" the breakpoint is removed for the file of the
currently set level (see "set").
]],

delallb = [[
delallb             -- removes all breakpoints|
]],

setw =    [[
setw <exp>          -- adds a new watch expression|

The expression is evaluated before each line is executed. If the expression
yields true then execution is paused and the debugger session re-activated.
The expression is executed in the context of the line about to be executed.
]],

delw =    [[
delw <index>        -- removes the watch expression at index|

The index is that returned when the watch expression was set by setw.
]],

delallw = [[
delallw             -- removes all watch expressions|
]],

run     = [[
run                 -- run until next breakpoint or watch expression|
]],

step    = [[
step [N]            -- run next N lines, stepping into function calls|

If N is omitted, use 1.
]],

over    = [[
over [N]            -- run next N lines, stepping over function calls|

If N is omitted, use 1.
]],

out     = [[
out [N]             -- run lines until stepped out of N functions|

If N is omitted, use 1.
If you are inside a function, using "out 1" will run until you return
from that function to the caller.
]],

goto    = [[
goto <line>         -- step to line number <line> in the current file|

The line and current file are those in the currently set context level.
]],

listb   = [[
listb               -- lists breakpoints|
]],

listw   = [[
listw               -- lists watch expressions|
]],

set     = [[
set [level]         -- set context to stack level, omitted=show|

If level is omitted it just prints the current level set.
This sets the current context to the level given. This affects the
context used for several other functions (e.g. vars). The possible
levels are those shown by trace.
]],

vars    = [[
vars [depth]        -- list context locals to depth, omitted=1|

If depth is omitted then uses 1.
Use a depth of 0 for the maximum.
Lists all non-nil local variables and all non-nil upvalues in the
currently set context. For variables that are tables, lists all fields
to the given depth.
]],

fenv    = [[
fenv [depth]        -- list context function env to depth, omitted=1|

If depth is omitted then uses 1.
Use a depth of 0 for the maximum.
Lists all function environment variables in the currently set context.
For variables that are tables, lists all fields to the given depth.
]],

glob    = [[
glob [depth]        -- list globals to depth, omitted=1|

If depth is omitted then uses 1.
Use a depth of 0 for the maximum.
Lists all global variables.
For variables that are tables, lists all fields to the given depth.
]],

ups     = [[
ups                 -- list all the upvalue names|

These names will also be in the "vars" list unless their value is nil.
This provides a means to identify which vars are upvalues and which are
locals. If a name is both an upvalue and a local, the local value takes
precedance.
]],

locs    = [[
locs                -- list all the locals names|

These names will also be in the "vars" list unless their value is nil.
This provides a means to identify which vars are upvalues and which are
locals. If a name is both an upvalue and a local, the local value takes
precedance.
]],

dump    = [[
dump <var> [depth]  -- dump all fields of variable to depth|

If depth is omitted then uses 1.
Use a depth of 0 for the maximum.
Prints the value of <var> in the currently set context level. If <var>
is a table, lists all fields to the given depth. <var> can be just a
name, or name.field or name.# to any depth, e.g. t.1.f accesses field
'f' in array element 1 in table 't'.

Can also be called from a script as dump(var,depth).
]],

tron    = [[
tron [crl]          -- turn trace on for (c)alls, (r)etuns, (l)lines|

If no parameter is given then tracing is turned off.
When tracing is turned on a line is printed to the console for each
debug 'event' selected. c=function calls, r=function returns, l=lines.
]],

trace   = [[
trace               -- dumps a stack trace|

Format is [level] = file,line,name
The level is a candidate for use by the 'set' command.
]],

info    = [[
info                -- dumps the complete debug info captured|

Only useful as a diagnostic aid for the debugger itself. This information
can be HUGE as it dumps all variables to the maximum depth, so be careful.
]],

show    = [[
show line file X Y  -- show X lines before and Y after line in file|

If line is omitted or is '-' then the current set context line is used.
If file is omitted or is '-' then the current set context file is used.
If file is not fully qualified and cannot be opened as specified, then
a search for the file in the package[path] is performed using the usual
"require" searching rules. If no file extension is given, .lua is used.
Prints the lines from the source file around the given line.
]],

exit    = [[
exit                -- exits debugger, re-start it using pause()|
]],

help    = [[
help [command]      -- show this list or help for command|
]],

["<statement>"] = [[
<statement>         -- execute a statement in the current context|

The statement can be anything that is legal in the context, including
assignments. Such assignments affect the context and will be in force
immediately. Any results returned are printed. Use '=' as a short-hand
for 'return', e.g. "=func(arg)" will call 'func' with 'arg' and print
the results, and "=var" will just print the value of 'var'.
]],

what <func>         -- show where <func> is defined (if known)|
