Setting a break on find-tail breaks everything at the repl: scheme@(guile-user)> ,break find-tail Trap 2: Breakpoint at #. scheme@(guile-user)> (+ 1 2 3) system/vm/traps.scm:127:31: system/vm/traps.scm:127:31: In procedure <: Wrong type: #f Entering a new prompt. Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue. scheme@(guile-user) [1]> ,bt In system/repl/repl.scm: 158:22 3 (_) In unknown file: 2 (_) In system/vm/traps.scm: 141:10 1 (apply-hook #) 127:31 0 (_ _) scheme@(guile-user) [1]> Not sure why, doesn't seem to happen with some other methods I've tried... doesn't happen with map for instance. I do have a patch, though I don't entirely understand what's going on. Here's the relevant snippet of code: (define (frame-matcher proc) ;; [...] (let ((start (program-code proc)) (end (program-last-ip proc))) (lambda (frame) (let ((ip (frame-instruction-pointer frame))) (and start end (<= start ip) (< ip end)))))) For some reason, `end' was #f in this scenario, which is how things broke. Well, patch attached!
