CLOG 2.2 - Dev Journal

[rabbibotton]

Goals -

1. continue dev on Builder's general purpose IDE
2. start work on improving the gui builder

[rabbibotton]

Can now set use-clog-debugger for (clog-repl) so that it uses and display the graphical debugger.

[rabbibotton]

Added to clog-gui

clog-break (&key clog-body run (modal t))
"Stop execution, funcall run with CLOG-BODY. If CLOG-BODY not set use
clog-debug-instance. Then confirm continue execution on current thread."

this works similar to (break) however it will perform run and then ask to confirm continued execution of thread or to run (break)

What is cool is that you can now run clog-repl and break execution even from a console app and see on the clog-repl gui

[rabbibotton]

added stdin on evals so that (clog-break :run (inspect 42)) you can use interactive repl style debug during a clog-break

[rabbibotton]

Added to clog-gui

(defmacro clog-probe (symbol &key clog-body
(symbol-title "")
(time-out 600)
(modal t))
"Pause thread of execution for time-out numnber of seconds or nil to not
block execution, display symbol's value, value is changed if OK pressed at
the moment pressed. When time-out is nil, :q quits the probe and cancel
repeats the probe with out changing value. When time-out is nil modal is
always nil."

This let's you do some cool stuff like:

(dotimes (n 100) (when (eql n 1) (clog-probe n :time-out nil)) (print n) (sleep .5))

So you can play with the local value of n while it is running (this may or may not be affected by changing n based on implementation)

[rabbibotton]

Corrected issue with dialogs not being movable

[rabbibotton]

added auto-probe to clog-probe to have it repeat probe :auto-probe seconds

[rabbibotton]

added: In clog-break if the form passed to run returns :continue the break confirm dialog is not displayed and execution continues

[rabbibotton]

added a new panel - CLOG Probe Panel
You add probes of any objects and data using clog-builder-probe
I also added an new external API to builder for adding custom inspectors so the Moldable Inspector project would be added with:

(clog-tools:add-inspector "Moldable Inspector"
                          (lambda (symbol title value clog-obj)
                            (clog-inspect :object symbol :clog-obj clog-obj)))

[rabbibotton]

You can choose now use your Lisp's console inspector or emacs slime inspector from the probes and probes started as auto can turn off the auto probe.

[rabbibotton]

Lots of debug stuff #361
Bug fixes
When choosing a product have to click load (now colored coded yellow loading, red not loaded etc)

[rabbibotton]

Added CLOG Object Scope

[rabbibotton]

Can now add extensions to builder for files for example:

(clog-tools:add-file-extension "Moldable Inspector"
                               (lambda (file dir project clog-obj)
                                 (when file
                                   (clog-inspect :object file :clog-obj clog-obj))
                                 (when dir
                                   (clog-inspect :object dir :clog-obj clog-obj))))

[rabbibotton]

Added ability to evaluate to a Probe on the CLOG Probe Panel
Added ability to say which package evals take place in for CLOG Object Scope and Probe Panel

[rabbibotton]

Added clog-tools:clog-builder-scope to create a new CLOG Object Scope

[rabbibotton]

Remove objects not in the DOM from the browser left over from using javascript or a (setf (text obj) ""), ie. gc dangling clog artifacts in the browser clog[] array.

[rabbibotton]

New preference to password protect the IDE if want to deploy over internet as part of a project etc:

;; To password protect use of the IDE set to a password or a function that
;; returns a password (lambda clog-body)
(setf password-protect nil)
