# Documentation

module Debug.Trace

traceId :: String -> String #

Like `trace` but returns the message instead of a third value.

    >>> traceId "hello"
    "hello
    hello"

Since: base-4.7.0.0

traceShowId :: Show a => a -> a #

Like `traceShow` but returns the shown value instead of a third value.

    >>> traceShowId (1+2+3, "hello" ++ "world")
    (6,"helloworld")
    (6,"helloworld")

Since: base-4.7.0.0

traceM :: Applicative f => String -> f () #

Like `trace` but returning unit in an arbitrary `Applicative` context. Allows for convenient use in do-notation.

Note that the application of `traceM` is not an action in the `Applicative` context, as `traceIO` is in the `IO` type. While the fresh bindings in the following example will force the `traceM` expressions to be reduced every time the `do`-block is executed, `traceM "not crashed"` would only be reduced once, and the message would only be printed once. If your monad is in `MonadIO`, `liftIO . traceIO` may be a better option.

    >>> :{
    do
        x <- Just 3
        traceM ("x: " ++ show x)
        y <- pure 12
        traceM ("y: " ++ show y)
        pure (x*2 + y)
    :}
    x: 3
    y: 12
    Just 18

Since: base-4.7.0.0

traceShowM :: (Show a, Applicative f) => a -> f () #

Like `traceM`, but uses `show` on the argument to convert it to a `String`.

    >>> :{
    do
        x <- Just 3
        traceShowM x
        y <- pure 12
        traceShowM y
        pure (x*2 + y)
    :}
    3
    12
    Just 18
