Evaluating source language expressions #3

Open fitzgen opened 9 years ago

fitzgen commented 9 years ago

Source maps should provide a way to evaluate original source language expressions in the scope of a given frame when the debugger is paused in that frame. This would allow the implementation of conditional breakpoints, watch expressions, an interactive REPL, etc.

I understand what it means to ask that debuggers support such evaluation. But what does it mean for source maps to? What more would source maps need to help debuggers do this scoped evaluation?

Ah. Is this really about issue #2 ?
