<h2>BREAK-ON-ERROR</h2>break when encountering a hard or soft error caused by ACL2.
<pre>Major Section:  <a href="TRACE.html">TRACE</a>
</pre><p>


<pre>
General forms:
(break-on-error t)   ; installs a trace causing a continuable error (break)
                     ;   whenever a hard or soft error is invoked by ACL2.
(break-on-error)     ; same as above
(break-on-error nil) ; uninstall the above trace
</pre>

<code>(Break-on-error)</code> is actually a macro that expands as follows.

<pre>
(trace$ (illegal :entry (break))
        (error1  :entry (break)))
</pre>

This trace should cause entry to the Lisp debugger (at least in most Lisps)
whenever ACL2 calls its error routines.<p>

Also see <a href="TRACE$.html">trace$</a>.
