several times becomes boring (well, at least if you make as many programming mistakes as I do ;-). In its simplest form I want to write trace(["thisVariable","thatVariable"]) or something likewise and get the same results. Fairly easy to obtain with eval. Actually that part of the function is already working.
In that function I would also like to get the possibility to print the line number, next to the message, or maybe just the line number. This would offer the possibility to trace the different branches a function should perform, without having to look each time in the bytecode tracing (which unfortunately repeats line numbers many times in its current state). Fullproof branch testing is one of the most difficult aspects of programming. Its easy to forget testing one of the branches.
If anyone is interested, I will make the trace function available as a utility for public use as soon as I get it working properly... with or without line number.
