% \section{Introduction}
%
% When writing new macros one often finds that they do not work as
% expected (at least I do :-). If this happens and one can't
% immediately figure out why there is a problem one has to start doing
% some serious debugging. \TeX{} offers a lot of bells and whistles to
% control what is being traced but often enough I find myself applying
% the crude command |\tracingall| which essentially means ``give me
% whatever tracing information is available''.
%
% In fact I normally use \eTeX{} in such a case, since that \TeX{}
% extension offers me a number of additional tracing possibilities
% which I find extremely helpful. The most important ones are
% |\tracingassigns|, which will show you changes to register values
% and changes to control sequences when they happen, and
% |\tracinggroups|, which will tell you what groups are entered
% or left (very useful if your grouping got out of sync).
%
% So what I really write is
%\begin{verbatim}
% \tracingassigns=1\tracinggroups=1\tracingall
%\end{verbatim}
% That in itself is already a nuisance (since it is a mouthful) but
% there is a worse catch: when using |\tracingall| you do get a awful
% lot of information and some of it is really useless.
%
% For example, if \LaTeX{} has to load a new font it enters some
% internal routines of NFSS which scan font definition tables etc.
% And 99.9\% of the time you are not at all interested in that part of the
% processing but in the two lines before and the five lines
% after. However, you have to scan through a few hundred lines of
% output to find the lines you need.
%
% Another example is the \texttt{calc} package. A simple statement
% like |\setlength| |\linewidth| |{1cm}| inside your macro will result
% in
%

% \noindent Do you still remember what I was talking about?
%
% No? We're trying to find a problem in macro code without having to scan
% too many uninteresting lines. To make this possible we have to
% redefine a number of key commands to turn tracing off temporarily in
% the hope that this will reduce the amount of noise during the
% trace. For example, if we change one of the \texttt{calc} internals
% slightly, the above tracing output can be reduced to:
%
%\begin{verbatim}
% \setlength ->\protect \setlength
% {\relax}
%
% \setlength ->\calc@assign@skip

%

%\end{verbatim}
%
% \noindent\label{conttraceoffexample}
% Still a lot of noise but definitely preferable to the
% original case.
%
% I redefined those internals that I found most annoyingly
% noisy. There are probably many others that could be treated in a
% similar fashion, so if you think you found one worth adding please
% drop me a short note.
%

%
% \DescribeMacro\traceon
% \DescribeMacro\traceoff
% The package defines the two macros |\traceon| and |\traceoff| to
% unconditionally turn tracing on or off, respectively. |\traceon| is
% like |\tracingall| but additionally adds |\tracingassigns| and
% |\tracinggroups| if the \eTeX{} program (in extended mode) is
% used. And |\traceoff| will turn tracing off again, a command which
% is already badly missing in plain \TeX{}, since it is often not
% desirable to restrict the tracing using extra groups in the
% document.
%
% \DescribeMacro\conditionally@traceon
% \DescribeMacro\conditionally@traceoff
% There are also two internal macros that turn tracing on and off, but
% only if the user requested tracing in the first place. These are the
% ones that are used internally within the code below.
%
% Since the package overwrites some internals of other packages you
% should load it as the last package in your preamble using
% |\usepackage{trace}|.
%
% The package offers the option \texttt{logonly} that suppresses
% terminal output during tracing (unless |\tracingall| is used). This
% is useful if the \TeX{} implementation used gets rather slow when
% writing a lot of information to the terminal.
%
% It also offers the option \texttt{full} in which case |\traceon|
% will trace all parts of the code, i.e., essentially work like
% |\tracingall|.
%
% \section{A sample file}
%
% The following small test file shows the benefits of the
% \texttt{trace} package. If one uncomments the line loading the
% package, the amount of tracing data will be drastically reduced.
% Without the \texttt{trace} package we get 6594 lines in the log
% file; adding the package will reduce this to 1618 lines.

%
% This package is for use with \LaTeX{} (though something similar
% could be produced for other formats).
% \begin{macrocode}
%<*package>
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1998/12/01]
% \end{macrocode}
%
% The package has a option that suppresses tracing on the
% terminal, i.e., if used will not set |\tracingonline| to
% one. This has been added in version 1.1a since some \TeX{}
% implementations get rather slow when outputting to a terminal.
% \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareOption{logonly}
{\let\tracingonline@p\z@}
% \end{macrocode}
% The default is showing the tracing information on the terminal.
% \begin{macrocode}
\let\tracingonline@p\@ne
% \end{macrocode}
%
% If the option |full| is selected then all code should be traced,
% i.e., the commands |\conditionally@traceoff| and
% |\conditionally@traceon| should do nothing. We set them to
% |\@empty| not |\relax| since the latter might produce a math ord
% in certain circumstances. We also have to make sure that
% |\traceon| (as defined further down) is not redefining
% |\conditionally@traceoff| again. To make this all work these
% redefinitions have to wait until the end of the package.

% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\traceon}
% This macro ensures that |\conditionally@traceoff| is actually
% turning off switches (since |\tracinall| might have disabled it)
% and then calls |\tr@ce@n| to setup tracing.
% \begin{macrocode}

% \end{macro}

% \changes{v1.1c}{2003/04/30}{Macro added}
% \begin{macro}{\conditionally@traceoff}
% As stated in the introduction, the amount of tracing being done
% should depend on the formatter we use. So we first test if we are
% running with \eTeX{} in extended mode. In the latter case the command
% |\tracinggroups| is defined.\footnote{If some package writer has defined
% that command name for some reason---too bad---then we make the
% wrong deduction from this fact and as a result the package will fail.}
% \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\tracinggroups\undefined
% \end{macrocode}
%
% If we are using standard \TeX{} then |\tr@ce@n| is more or less

% Now what should |\conditionally@traceoff| do in this case? Should
% it revert all settings changed by |\tr@ce@n|? It should not, since
% our goal is to shorten the trace output, thus setting all of the
% uninteresting values back makes the output unnecessarily
% longer. Therefore we restrict ourselves to those |\tracing...|
% internals that really contribute to listings like the above.
%
% And one additional point is worth mentioning. The order in which
% we turn the tracing internals off has effects on the output we
% see. So what needs to be turned off first? Either
% |\tracingrestores| or |\tracingcommands|; it makes no difference
% which, as long as they both come first. This is because those two
% are the only tracing switches that produce output while tracing
% the command |\conditionally@traceoff| itself (see example on
% page~\pageref{conttraceoffexample}).
%
% In principle we would need to test the |@tracing| switch to see
% if there is anything to turn off; after all, this is the
% conditional trace off. However this would lead to
% extra output if we are currently tracing so we skip the test and
% instead accept that in case we are not doing any tracing we
% unnecessarily set the tracing primitives back to zero (i.e., the
% value they already have).

% We redefine |\tracingall| to trace the same stuff than |\tr@ce@n| (i.e.,
% more when \eTeX{} is being used) and ensure that everything gets
% traced by disabling |\conditionally@traceoff|. And, of course,
% |\tracingall| should always report on the terminal.

% \begin{macro}{\conditionally@traceon}
% Above we have defined |\conditionally@traceoff| and |\traceon| so
% now we have to define their counterparts.
%
% To stop tracing unconditionally we call
% |\unconditionally@traceoff| and then reset the |@tracing| switch
% to false.

%
% Now the |\conditionally@traceon| command will look at the
% |@tracing| switch and if it is true it will call |\traceon| to
% restart tracing (note that the latter command unnecessarily sets
% the switch to true as well). The reason for the |\expandafter| is
% to get rid of the |\fi| primitive which would otherwise show up in

%
% \begin{macro}{\define@newfont}
% Whenever NFSS determines that the font currently asked for is not

% files and then load the font. This results in a very large number
% of tracing lines which are not normally of interest (unless there
% is a bug in that area---something we hope should have been found
% by now). Again the code already contains its own group so we only
% have to turn the tracing off.

% \begin{macro}{\frozen@everymath}
% \begin{macro}{\frozen@everydisplay}
% At the beginning of every math formula NFSS will check whether or
% not the math fonts are properly set up and if not will load
% whatever is needed. So we surround that part of the code
% with |\conditionally@traceoff| and |\conditionally@traceon|
% thereby avoiding all this uninteresting output.
% \begin{macrocode}

% \section{Checking for italic corrections}
%
% \begin{macro}{\maybe@ic@}
% When executing |\textit| or its friends, \LaTeX{} looks ahead to

% in. So we disable tracing for this part of the processing.
