Dick,

I wise man told me: when in doubt, leave it out.

I'm in doubt. I really do want to keep tRev simple. It's breakpoints are easy enough to spot for now.

Meantime I _will_ do the following:

1. Get our new Raptor feature ready for Feature Friday.

This feature is more game-changing than Decoder. In fact, most of it is already in tRev. It is so obvious that I doubt anyone will find it. Hehehe. It's one of those inventions that will be used in ways I'm sure I've never imagined.

2. I will be thinking about all these cool ideas you and others have made for tRev breakpoints as I finish-up Raptor.

Once Raptor is out, we will be feature complete. Then, I will optimize and thoroughly debug tRev, getting rid of excess code, etc., and release it, giving out brand-new one year reg codes.

After release, I'll probably have some thoughts about breakpoints because we will all have had some time using them.

Funding for development is always an issue, so...let's see if we can't get at least 500 people using tRev before Fall comes. Right now we're at 108!

Thanks, Jerry, and you're welcome.

The behavior of your breakpoint is so different from Rev's that I can
imagine wanting to use both. So I'd prefer you to distinguish the two: breakpoint and, say, tRev_checkpoint. uRIP resolves the name space thing.

tRev, instead of inserting the string "breakpoint," could insert a
one-liner:

if "tRev" is among the lines of the stacksInUse then tRev_checkpoint

or, less obtrusively,

try; tRev_checkpoint; end try

Would that work for you?

Hey, Dick! Good to hear from you.

I would need to deal with the whole name space thing...if some other
program used checkpoint, etc.

Using "breakpoint" has two sizeable advantages over alternatives (now
that I'm really considering your suggestion):

1. I don't have to worry about another program using it.

2. It has a use when tRev is not in use. E.g., when you give someone
else your code and they don't have tRev (because of a religious
injunction or something).

Great idea, though. I'll play around with it some. Thanks.

I agree TOTALLY with the request, but alas, Rev forbids it.

Hi, Jerry.  Could you proceed without Rev's traceback message?

on mouseUp
  put 1 into t1
  put 2 into t2
  checkPoint
end mouseUp

command checkPoint
  set the debugcontext to line -2 of the executioncontexts
  global gREVVariableWatcherValue
  debugdo "revDebuggerGrabValue the variableNames"
  repeat for each item tVariableName in line 2 of
gREVVariableWatcherValue
    debugdo "revDebuggerGrabValue" && tVariableName
    put gREVVariableWatcherValue into tVariables[tVariableName]
  end repeat
  set the debugcontext to empty
  -- ... "store the full context into a database"

  breakpoint -- just so you can see tVariables[]
end checkPoint
