Abstract

Observing intermediate values helps to understand what is going on when your program runs.

Gill presented an observation method for lazy functional languages that

preserves the program's semantics.

However, users need to define for each type how its values are observed:

a laborious task and strictness of the program can easily be affected.

Here we define how any value can be observed based on the structure of its type

by applying generic programming frameworks.

Furthermore we present an extension to specify per observation point how much to observe of a value.

We discuss especially functional values and behaviour based on class membership

in generic programming frameworks.
