REPL for ocamldebug?

Question

One of the things that I miss from GHC (Haskell) when using OCaml is that there is no unified debugger/REPL. The debugger and the REPL are completely separate, which is crazy! You can't think of a random function call and execute it in the running process, like you can in ghci.

Any tips, workarounds for this?

Answer 1

There is a REPL for Ocaml which is not debuggable, it is the ocaml command.

You might also use ocamldebug on ocaml, but I'm not sure it would help you.

The ocamldebug debugger is mostly used (on your application compiled with ocamlc) as you would use gdb for C.
