Eric Nielsen f812c1bb6a [debug] Refactor debug module
Use `$PS4` debugging prompt to generate timestamps, instead of GNU `date`.
This also keeps timestamps and respective command together, something
that `paste` could not guarantee given some commands may have multiple lines.

The prompt timestamp has a precision of 6 decimals. The `printf "%12.9f\n"`
instruction with 9 decimals was kept to keep producing "the **SAME** output".
This could be replaced to `printf "%12.6f\n"` to make the output
smaller.
Also, only the first line of commands with multiple lines are saved, to
keep the output format backwards-compatible.

Closes #84

Debug

Provides a function to debug Zim.

Functions

  • trace-zim provides a trace of Zsh/Zim startup

Notes

The trace-zim command will not alter your current dotfiles. It will copy your environment to a temporary directory, launch zsh within that environment, and output logs.

This will provide a ztrace.tar.gz archive, which should be attached to any bug reports if you need help with an issue that you don't understand.
