Set breakpoints using a GHC plugin

breakpoint's Issues

rename queryVars* ?

New-user feedback: I found the naming of queryVars* a little unmnemonic, especially with 6 functions to remember. I wonder what you'd think of renaming them breakpoint*Query, or something similarly regular ?

wish: open the GHCI debugger

The ability to open the ghci debugger would be a great addition! Like python's pdb.set_trace().

Show result in `breakpoint` output

the value supplied to breakpoint as an argument should appear as a "result" variable of some sort in the output.

Using `breakpoint` in where bind results in loop

No `ShowLev` instance for fixed point number

    • No instance for (Debug.Breakpoint.ShowLev
                         ghc-prim-0.8.0:GHC.Types.LiftedRep WFixed.Decimilli)

Add `README.md` to cabal file

If one includes the README.md file in extra-doc-files; then hackage will be able to render it.

add to stackage ?

breakpoint worked nicely for me (except the interactivity didn't work well when debugging a brick app, but that's to be expected). Thank you!

Could it be added to stackage ?

Need to handle `IsString` variant for `excludeVars`

Issue with threadDelay and nested breakpoints

If one breakpoint causes another breakpoint to trigger, then threadDelays happening concurrently can end up lasting longer than they should.

Relax upper bound on `ansi-terminal` to permit `ansi-terminal-1.1`

Motivation: commercialhaskell/stackage#7306

Out of scope variable captured

  eResult <-
    Retry.retrying limitedJitterBackoff isUniqueViolation
      (\retryStatus -> do
        breakpointIO
        ...
      )

eResult is being captured erroneously.

Looking up built in instances

Currently unable to use a Show instance if it depends on a built in instance such as KnownSymbol. Is it possible to call the GHC solver to produce dicts?

fails to build on windows, GHC.Event not available

breakpoint imports GHC.Event, which the haddock describes as "GHC internal", and which in fact is not available on MS Windows.
