Frame Locals

Open Shinmera opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

In addition to arguments, accessing available frame local variables would be great and a step closer to making this a full debugger portability library.

Technically, what's set to args are actually locals on most supported implementations (I'm certain this is true at least about ECL, CCL, CLISP, and Allegro). Which often results in a two-arg function having five arguments 😛

So this issue is not about accessing locals per se, but rather about separating args from real locals 🙃

I can open a PR with the work I just hacked up for locals on several implementations. But it's far from complete and I'm not sure whether it'll be complete enough to close this issue. How should I proceed? Should this incomplete work be merged?

It would be good to merge the incomplete work, yes. At least it wolud be a step towards making the other backends work more correctly.
