Debugging the Code

Minimal Working Example for Debugging

Go into the build directory mentioned in README.md and create a file debug.js. Write the following code into it to debug the bit encoding problems: (you may omit the comments ;-))

    var cosmicos = require('./lib/cosmicos').cosmicos;
    var evl = new cosmicos.Evaluate();

    evl.applyOldOrder(); // old symbols introduced to start with at least something

    //console.log(evl.evaluateLine("intro is:int;")); // logs a message in the console
    console.log(evl.codifyLine("intro is:int;"));
    console.log(evl.codifyLine("is:prime 5;"));
    // calls Parse.codify

Afterwards edit the appropriate hx-Files and perform make in the build directory. Then check the output of js debug.js called from within the build directory. In the hx-Files you may use trace to obtain an output at STDOUT.

Maybe the creation process of the message lasts veeeeery long due to several intermediate trace instructions. Then cancel it and cp -vf ./transform/CosmicEval.js ./lib/cosmicos.js to obtain an up-to-date js file for testing.
