A library to provide a well-behaved debug console.

trivial-debug-console

* About
  =trivial-debug-console= is a tiny little library to make writing GUI
  applications in Common Lisp easier on Windows. The free lisp
  implementations like SBCL and CLISP produce "text-mode" executable
  images on windows, which means they pop up a console window when
  run. You could create a launcher to hide the window, but then you
  couldn't do any debugging in the image.

  =trivial-debug-console= lets you wrap a function such that the
  console window will be un-hidden whenever the debugger is entered,
  and re-hidden after the condition has been handled. You get the
  console window for just as long as you need it, then it gets out of
  your way.

* Usage
  There are two ways to use =trivial-debug-console=:
  1. =(debuggify func &rest args)= will apply =func= to =args= with
     the debug wrapper.
  2. =(with-debug-console &body body)= will wrap =body= in a lambda
     and pass it to =debuggify=, to make wrapping a series of actions
     easier.

* Notes
  - This only works on windows (I'm still thinking about how to make
    it work on X-windows systems).
  - =trivial-debug-console= goes to lengths to not disrupt normal
    error-handling mechanisms. =*DEBUGGER-HOOK*= and the regular
    error-handling mechanisms should all work normally.
