You need not mark whole buffer if you wish to eval buffer.

Please see Edebug menu.

The above is too general, it is causing more problems than it should.
No comment for above. I can tell that if there is function to debug, I
use this workflow:
1. Go to `defun' or after and press C-u M-C-x as that immediately
marks the function for edebug
2. When execution location comes to that function, I find myself in
the function, then I press `n' to evaluate expressions one by one.
3. I may discover other function which is giving the error, at that
time, go to other function and repeat steps 1, and remove the first
function eventually with
{M-x edebug-remove-instrumentation RET name-of-first-function RET}
4. I repeat this process until I find what is wrong.
