highlight button still exists?

[Frederic Muller]

Hi!

In lesson 8 there is mention of a highlight button: I can't seem to find
it on my version of rur-ple. Is it a depreciated feature?

Thanks

Yes, it is. Initially, I used a very clumsy method for highlighting a
program. (from memory: ) before running a user program, behind the
scene and unknown to the user, I would insert after each line
something like

set_linenumber(n); n += 1

and use this information to highlight the line of code being executed.
This did not work well at all when using class statements and the
like, due to indentation problems. So, this feature could be turned
off.

Later, I modified the approach I used so as to inspect the frame being
executed, and extract the required information. This method slows
down the program a fair bit, but is (as far as I know) bug free.

Lesson 8 should be modified to reflect this change.
