DESCRIPTION

TclPro Debugger is a graphical debugger for the Tcl scripting language. TclPro Debugger allows you to interactively step through your Tcl scripts to find bugs as they occur. You may also use the TclPro Debugger to modify the state of your running Tcl application to test hard-to-execute or otherwise unreachable code branches.

The command prodebug is used to start TclPro Debugger. If you specify a projectFile on the command line, TclPro Debugger will open the project upon startup.

USER MANUAL

For more information, please see the TclPro User's Guide or online help system.

The code coverage feature is a late addition to the tool and is not documented in the user manual. If you start prodebug with the -coverage option then a "Show Coverage" menu entry appears under the View menu, and a toolbar button labeled C appears. These display a simple code coverage tool that will highlight either the code that has been executed so far, or the code that has not been executed so far. The idea of this tool is to show you how well test inputs are exercising your program.
