elispのデバッグに有用そうな関数を知ったのでメモ

add-variable-watcher is a built-in function in ‘C source code’.

(add-variable-watcher SYMBOL WATCH-FUNCTION)

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 26.1.

Cause WATCH-FUNCTION to be called when SYMBOL is about to be set.

It will be called with 4 arguments: (SYMBOL NEWVAL OPERATION WHERE). SYMBOL is the variable being changed. NEWVAL is the value it will be changed to. (The variable still has the old value when WATCH-FUNCTION is called.) OPERATION is a symbol representing the kind of change, one of: ‘set’, ‘let’, ‘unlet’, ‘makunbound’, and ‘defvaralias’. WHERE is a buffer if the buffer-local value of the variable is being changed, nil otherwise.

All writes to aliases of SYMBOL will call WATCH-FUNCTION too.
