count-words-region function and then cause it to
enter the built-in debugger when you call it. Run the command on a
region containing two words. You will need to press d a
remarkable number of times. On your system, is a `hook' called after
the command finishes? (For information on hooks, see Command Loop Overview (The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual).)
count-words-region into the *scratch* buffer,
instrument the function for Edebug, and walk through its execution.
The function does not need to have a bug, although you can introduce
one if you wish. If the function lacks a bug, the walk-through
completes without problems.
global-edebug-prefix is usually C-x X, i.e.
<CTL>-x followed by an upper case X; use this prefix
for commands made outside of the Edebug debugging buffer.)
edebug-bounce-point) command to see where in the region the
count-words-region is working.
edebug-goto-here) command to jump to that location.
edebug-trace-mode) command to cause Edebug to
walk through the function on its own; use an upper case T for
edebug-Trace-fast-mode.
