Just for testing... debug_20101127.7z


debug.dll contains 2 functions: echo() and bp(). Plugin must be placed in "plugins\userefi" folder.
mcadefi plugin must be installed first.

bp() and echo() can display only the numbers united in a vector. Nested structures aren't supported.

uni you are amazing! ancing:

I just do not know what to say, but this one is just great !

I hope that some good willing people from the native English speking region will contact you and help you out with this.

BTW, I was wandering many times how the things would going on with the waste of numerical procedures written in C, C++, C# etc. Could they be introduced in SMath via plugins. Please forgive me for my ignorance, but could you just give me just a short explanation if there is any chance to make a plugin for SMath from, say SUNDIALS solvers.

This one crossed my mind at the moment.

Thank you for the quick answer. I am pleasently surprised that this could be done . I hope that sooner or later you or someone else - who might follow your steps - will extend the SMath with these or some other numerical solvers.

Hello uni

I think I figured out the basics of the debugger using. Some sort of Help or short Users's guide would be helpful, but it seems not complicated to make break points with bp() and echoing variables with echo().
Here is a screenshot:

This is something I've never used in Mathcad. I just stayd with different "return" points in order to debug, say, a multiline function. Regarding SMath I think the debugger might be much more useful IMHO. However, SMath does not have yet the ability to insert or delete placeholders (break points, echoing) in the line() environment. Using the debugger would be much easier by having this feature (I hope it will be introduced sooner or later).
As it is a test version, I have just few questions.
- I can not figured out what is the matrix window used for.
- As it is from Mathcad - there are row and columns number starting from zero (SMath uses unity as a starting index positions). Actually, this one is not so important.
- If I close the debugger window at some break point, I do not know how to get it back without interupting and restarting all the calculation in the worksheet.

Hello uni,


Thank you for the answer. Actually, I did not understand this thing about templates - sorry. I made all the files and have the Templates 3,4,5,6 active in the Debugger menu - but do not know what to do with them. I was played with bp() inside multiline functions and figured out that there must be "if" clause, as you explained, in order to make a break point and to, say, go step by step. I managed to do this.
On the other hand, I do not know how are we going to get rid of these break points if we do not need them anymore.

Never mind, I like that this is working and will play some more to get more acquainted with this feature
