The Ring programming language version 1.9 book - Part 91 of 210
0 likes8 views
This document provides documentation on Ring's virtual machine (VM) tracing functions. It describes functions for setting a trace function, getting trace data, determining the trace event, and more. An example shows how to use these functions to trace a program's execution and print information for each event. The functions allow debugging and profiling Ring programs by tracing their execution flow and collecting metadata at different points.

77.14 ringvm_calllist() function
The Function return a list of the functions call list.
Each List Member is a list contains the next items
• Function Type
• Function Name
• Program Counter (PC)
• Stack Pointer (SP)
• Temp. Memory List
• Method or Function Flag
• Caller PC
• FuncExec Flag
• ListStart Flag
• Nested Lists Pointer
• State List
Syntax:
RingVM_CallList() ---> List
Example:
hello()
func hello
test()
func test
mylist = ringvm_calllist()
for t in mylist see t[2] + nl next
Output:
function hello() in file B:/ring/tests/scripts/calllist.ring
called from line 1
function test() in file B:/ring/tests/scripts/calllist.ring
called from line 3
ringvm_calllist
77.15 ringvm_fileslist() function
Function return a list of the Ring Files.

The event data is a list contains the next items • The Source Code Line Number 77.16. ringvm_settrace() 871
- 4. Ring Documentation, Release 1.9 • The Source File Name • The Function/Method Name • Method or Function (Bool : True=Method, False=Function/File) Syntax: RingVM_TraceData() ---> aDataList 77.18 ringvm_traceevent() Inside the function that we will use for tracing events We can use ringvm_traceevent() to know the event type • New Line • Before Function • After Function • Runtime Error • Before C Function • After C Function Syntax: RingVM_TraceEvent() ---> nTraceEvent 77.19 ringvm_tracefunc() The function return the name of the function that we are using for tracing events. Syntax: RingVM_TraceEvent() ---> cCode 77.20 ringvm_scopescount() We can use the RingVM_ScopesCount() function to know the number of scopes used in the application. In the start of the program, We have the (global scope only) When we call a function, A new scope is created. When the function execution is done, the function scope is deleted. Syntax: RingVM_ScopesCount() ---> nScopes 77.18. ringvm_traceevent() 872
- 5. Ring Documentation, Release 1.9 77.21 ringvm_evalinscope() The function ringvm_evalinscope() is similar to the eval() function Unlike eval() which execute the code in the current scope Using RingVM_EvalInScope() we can execute the scope in a specific scope. Syntax: RingVM_EvalInScope(nScope,cCode) 77.22 ringvm_passerror() When we have runtime error, After printing the Error message, Ring will end the execution of the program. Using ringvm_passerror() we can avoid that, and continue the execution of our program. Syntax: RingVM_PassError() 77.23 ringvm_hideerrormsg() We can disable/enable displaying the runtime error messages using the RingVM_HideErrorMsg() function. Syntax: RingVM_HideErrorMsg(lStatus) 77.24 ringvm_callfunc() We can call a function from a string without using eval() using the ringvm_callfunc() Syntax: RingVM_CallFunc(cFuncName) 77.25 Example - Using the Trace Functions The next example use the Trace Functions to trace the program Events! In practical, We will use the Trace Library instead of these low level functions! load "tracelib.ring" ringvm_settrace("mytrace()") see "Hello, world!" + nl see "Welcome" + nl see "How are you?" +nl mytest() 77.21. ringvm_evalinscope() 873
