A refinement of :tracelocal could be :tracedirect (or something) that would save the history not anywhere within the given function but only within parents, so to say. For example,
This looks like what I thought of as searching for values in dynamic stack (explained in my response to Pepe Iborra in this thread).
I just did not ask for it with a new ticket since: * I think it is already requested by some other ticket * if you compile with -Wall then :tracelocal should have the same information and only rarely name collision happens so automatic tracelocal trace search should return what you are looking for too and when needed it reruns more ... that is if the function is short enough to fit in the tracelocal history queue The ticket actually has two almost independent parts: * Adding tracelocal trace. * Adding the automatic search for symbols in the trace and the trace in the search could be also some other kind of trace like (e.g. dynamic stack). This would not be that useful though since the names at higher levels in stack are typically different. So to make it good it would require matching formal arguments to expressions on higher level and evaluating them, not that easy to do as simple tracelocal search which is just based on stupid string comparison.
