package ppx_minidebug

[0.6.2] -- 2023-12-21

Fixed

• Backward compatibility: Out_channel.output_string --> Stdlib.output_string.

[0.6.1] -- 2023-12-20

Support for debugging infinite loops.

Added

• A new optional setting max_num_children, which terminates a computation with a Failure exception when the given size of sibling logs is exceeded.

[0.6.0] -- 2023-12-15

Added

• Runtime entry point debug_flushing that returns a Flushing runtime which by default logs to stdout.
• A new optional setting max_nesting_depth, which terminates a computation with a Failure exception when the given nesting of logs is exceeded.

[0.5.0] -- 2023-10-29

Added

• An option to output to HTML, when in the PrintBox runtime.
• An option to convert the logged sexp values to PrintBox trees, when they exceed a given size in atoms.
• Runtime entry points debug_html that returns a PrintBox runtime configured to output HTML into a file with the given name, and debug that returns a PrintBox runtime which by default logs to stdout.

Changed

• Exception handling that allows proper tracing/logging for raising functions and crashing (via uncaught exception) programs.

[0.4.0] -- 2023-10-18

Added

• The PrintBox logger now allows disabling (not outputting) a whole subtree of the logs.

Fixed

• A broken link in the documentation landing page.

[0.3.3] -- 2023-09-15

Changed

• Breaking change: explicitly set whether logs should be time tagged.

[0.3.2] -- 2023-04-25

Fixed

• Missing version bounds on ocaml and ppxlib to make CI happy.

[0.3.1] -- 2023-03-30

Fixed

• A small tweak to have dune-release work.

[0.3.0] -- 2023-03-29

Changed

• Breaking change: renamed Minidebug_runtime.Format to Minidebug_runtime.PP_format.
• Non-optionally depending on sexplib0 and ppx_sexp_conv, as optional dependency was making it hard to test. Also the minidebug_runtime source files duplication was ugly.
• Trying to minimize dependencies: removed the unused direct dependency on base, but ppx_sexp_conv depends on it. Removed the dependency on stdio.
• Added a building-related comment to the documentation.

[0.2.0] -- 2023-03-29

Fixed

• Added non-optional package dependencies.
• Major bug fix: missing processing of the top expression in a function body.

[0.1.4] -- 2023-03-21

Changed

• Merged the two packages ppx_minidebug and minidebug_runtime into one.

[0.1.3] -- 2023-03-17

Fixed

• Handles labeled function arguments.

Added

• Documentation suggestions regarding VOCaml.

[0.1.2] -- 2023-03-06

Added

• A syntax extension to instrument type-annotated bindings and functions with logging.
• The extension supports 3 value conversion mechanisms: pp and show from deriving.show, and sexp from ppx_sexp_conv.
• The minidebug_runtime package provides 3 logging backends: Format based purely on formatters, Flushing that converts to strings first and flushes output after every entry, and PrintBox that pretty-prints as trees using the printbox package.
• References a VS Code extension that builds flame graphs for the Flushing logger out-of-the-box.
• Documentation and API docs on github.io.
• Tests, including testing the writing-to-files functionality. Uses sed for sanitizing.
