You can redefine procedures during the execution of the program, which
can be very useful while debugging. The normal way to do this is to
use the ‘break’ option of the debugger to enter a break state (see
break/0
, ref-ere-int), and then load an altered version of
some procedures. If you do this, then it is advisable, after redefining
the procedures and exiting from the break state, to wind the
computation back to the first call to any of the procedures you are
changing: you can do this by using the ‘retry’ option with an
argument that is the invocation number of that call. If you do not
wind the computation back like this, then:
