A way to debug the C functions of a Critcl script foo.tcl:
1- Insert these lines in the script foo.tcl
package require critcl 0.34 ;# NEEDS > 0.33 # critcl::config force 1 ;# optional, force recompilation critcl::config keepsrc 1 ;# keep sources in cache critcl::config lines 0 ;# code references cached C sources, not tcl source critcl::cheaders -g ;# keep symbols inside library
2- Launch the debugger gdb (or ddd)
shell$ ddd tclkit
3- Run the program in order to compile
gdb> run path_to_critcl/critcl foo.tcl
4- Insert breakpoint. Note that "critcl::cproc bar ..." generates C functions tcl_bar and c_bar
gdb> break tcl_bar
5- Rerun the program
gdb> run
