Rope Language Reference - "dump"

"dump" is for use only as a debugging aid, and is only available to scripts run in UserLand mode. It prints a listing of the contents of the stack, including data types and values. It takes no arguments from the stack itself.

For example, the following script..

10 "Hello" { "x" println } $a
dump

prints the following output..

---- rope-stack @bfffb4a0 ----
max = 20
used = 4
jotter_max = 1508
jotter_used = 508
type=3, length=-1, value=10 (0x0000000A):: 10
type=1, length=5, value=-1073751308 (0xBFFFDAF4):: "Hello"
type=6, length=5, value=-1073751300 (0xBFFFDAFC):: ?
type=10, length=-1, value=0 (0x00000000):: ?
*** Verdict  = OKAY
*** nActions = 5 ($max_actions = 1000)

As you will see, the format of the output is a little "terse" at the moment. I plan to make it easier to read in a future release.
