trace -package:streamly -package:base-prelude

The trace function outputs the trace message given as its first argument, before returning the second argument as its result. For example, this returns the value of f x and outputs the message to stderr. Depending on your terminal (settings), they may or may not be mixed.

>>> let x = 123; f = show

>>> trace ("calling f with x = " ++ show x) (f x)
calling f with x = 123
"123"

The trace function should only be used for debugging, or for monitoring execution. The function is not referentially transparent: its type indicates that it is a pure function but it has the side effect of outputting the trace message.

Compute the trace of a matrix

>>> trace (V2 (V2 a b) (V2 c d))
a + d

Compute the trace of a matrix

>>> trace (V2 (V2 a b) (V2 c d))
a + d

Output a debug message to sterr, using trace, if tracing is enabled. Note: this writes to stderr even in pure instances.
