Go up one level in this thread



 I wrote several debugging functions in the code itself.
 I can run them from the commmand line or from the debugger (gdb).
 Logic tracing is embedded in the code. When turned on, I get a
 log file that traces the entire tree search. The tree is bracketed
 with {} to make it easy to jump from one end of the tree to another.
 Various functionality can be turned off in a parameter file, thus giving
 the ability to reduce the complexity of the trace. This enables relatively
 quick debugging of the decision logic. However, it creates a very large
 file.
