Another stepper contrib for ABCL! (this time for compiled code)

[alejandrozf]

I'm happy to add another tool to debug programs in ABCL :)

For more information see the file contrib/abcl-jvm-stepper/README.markdown

You seem to have missed a defpackage in the ASDF definition as I get the following error trying to load this code:

The package "STEPPER" can't be found.
   [Condition of type READER-ERROR]

Restarts:
 0: [RETRY] Retry compiling #<ASDF/LISP-ACTION:CL-SOURCE-FILE "abcl-jvm-stepper" "base" "abcl-jvm-stepper">.
 1: [ACCEPT] Continue, treating compiling #<ASDF/LISP-ACTION:CL-SOURCE-FILE "abcl-jvm-stepper" "base" "abcl-jvm-stepper"> as having been successful.
 2: [RETRY] Retry ASDF operation.
 3: [CLEAR-CONFIGURATION-AND-RETRY] Retry ASDF operation after resetting the configuration.
 4: [ABORT] Abort compilation.
 5: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request.

We could possibly add your examples in the README as a simple to test to ensure the code compiles and executes under the Github CI?

Thank you @easye , it was an obsolete dependency on ABCL-STEPPER that I forgot to remove

Done 👍

This seems useful. What's the status?

Hi @fosskers

This stepper works out of the box only on function calls.
To ensure it can step into other subforms you need to "decorate" the subform in order to make it "steppable".
In the Readme I have explained how to do it.
I want to make it step into all the subforms but I couldn't make it yet.
I don't have too much time to hack on ABCL these days, so if someone can help me on it would be awesome.
