# This file implements the embedded debugger that can be linked
# with the application. We should not use dynamic memory here as that
# would interfere with the GC and trigger ON/OFF errors if the
# user program corrupts memory. Unfortunately, for dispaying
# variables we use the ``system.repr()`` proc which uses Nimrod
# strings and thus allocates memory from the heap. Pity, but
# I do not want to implement ``repr()`` twice. We also cannot deactivate
# the GC here as that might run out of memory too quickly...
