4.1 Introduction
The GNU Prolog debugger provides information concerning the control flow of
the program. The debugger can be fully used on consulted predicates (i.e.
byte-code). For native compiled code only the calls/exits are traced, no
internal behavior is shown. Under the debugger it is possible to exhaustively
trace the execution or to set spy-points to only debug a specific part of the
program. Spy-points allow the user to indicate on which predicates the
debugger has to stop to allow the user to interact with it. The debugger uses
the “procedure box control flow model”, also called the Byrd Box model
since it is due to Lawrence Byrd.
