Do I miss something?

Bug found and corrected. I changed the pattern:

"[:/\](.+)$"

in lines 561 and 565 of ~/torch/share/torch/lua/debugger/debugger.lua with:

"[:/\\](.+)$"

[Atcold]

Right... So I required the debugger:

require 'debugger'

and placed the snippet somewhere in my code:

if _DEBUG_ then pause() end 

and this is the outcome ):

torch-qlua: /Users/atcold/torch/share/torch/lua/debugger/debugger.lua:481: bad argument #1 to '(for generator)' (level out of range)

I am not really understanding what is going on...

This issue appears to occur only when Torch is compiled with Lua-JIT

Ah thanks for looking into these bugs. LuaJIT doesn't support the \ escaper, for some reason. % must be used instead. So instead of [ , use %[. But it seems you're past this bug.

Moreover, I am not able of running commands with the < code here > syntax. Also

show line file X Y

seams to have problems... Finally, I am not able to print the local variables... it just shows me:

[debug]> locs
upvalues = {  -- table: 0x7f908db94b70
};

Am I just that unlucky? :/

[clementfarabet]

OK, this debugger has never been tested correctly, and I've never really used it, so I guess it might be quite buggy. It was originally written for Lua 5.0, I think, and then adapted for 5.1. Some has to be done to make sure it does the right thing :-(
