Question about LW 7.1

Trying to decide whether I should upgrade, one feature that I’m a little curious about, "Tracing of subfunctions (flet etc).” Does this mean I can step through subfunctions when debugging in the IDE?

Cheers,
JD

Re: Question about LW 7.1

That's not what tracing means in CL. Instead, you can mark a
subfunction as traced, and then the arguments it is called with and
the results it returns are logged to, IIRC, *TRACE-OUTPUT*. Previously
you could only do this with top-level functions.
