... statements ^13.1

Since Glish is interpreted, you will find that adding debugging print statements to a Glish script and restarting often gives a very quick means of debugging.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

... process.^13.2

For gdb, use the attach command; for dbx, start it with no parameters and then enter debug followed by the name of the executable and the pid value.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

...glish_false)^13.3

To do this you may need to change the debugging scope after attaching to the process; in both gdb and dbx this is done using the up command to move up the call stack until arriving in the Client::Client constructor (which may have a more garbled name).

... clients.^15.1

While a fair number of Glish clients have been written, most are either special-purpose or are based on the AIPS++ library, which is distributed separately from Glish.
