Hello,
one feature of ocaml that is very useful also is the ability to trace
some functions in the toplevel. When debugging code, I usually start by
tracing some functions and if it doesn't work, I use the debugger. I
specially like the ability to go backwards as it really helps tracking
down exception raising points. Just let it run until the exception is
raised and step backwards to examine the environment just before it is
raised.
But I agree with some previous posters that I seldom use it because my
code usually simply works :-)
Cheers,
